Recognition of Visitors:
A. Henry W. Cook, Clerk of the Circuit and County Court
Mr. Cook was not present and Mayor Fletcher reported on services which will

three months.
B. Kraig McLane, St. Johns River Water Management

planning decisions.
Mr. McLane then gave each official a Local Government Water Resource

Atlas. A brief question and answer period ensued with the following topics
discussed: dunes protection, use of septic tanks, and deep well irrigation with
lake water augmentation. Mr. McLane stated he worked out of the
Jacksonville office and could be reached at 448-7904 if further information was
needed. The Mayor and Commissioners thanked Mr. McLane for his
informative presentation.
C. William Magee of 1831 Selva Marina Drive
Mr. Magee inquired as to the fine for a malfunction at the sewage treatment
plant. City Manager Jarboe stated he was talking with the Department of
Environmental Protection and at this time, there was no final agreement, but an
in-kind reciprocal agreement was being worked on.
Mr. Magee then asked if the city was selling its sewage treatment plant. City
Manager Jarboe stated past consideration had been given to privatization of
operations at the plant, but the city had no plans to sell it.
Lastly, Mr. Magee inquired as to the status of the culvert by American Bank
and was told work on the culvert would be scheduled after the Florida and
Atlantic Boulevard projects. Mr. Jarboe directed Mr. Magee to speak with
Public Works Director Kosoy for further information.
D. Dezmond Waters of 1835 Seminole Road
Dezmond Waters, in his capacity as Chairman of the Parks and Recreation
Board, passed out a memo from the Parks and Recreation Board to the Mayor
and each Commission member suggesting that all land designated as a park be
named as soon as possible. (The memo is attached herewith and made part of
this official record as Attachment A).
A discussion ensued concerning naming the triangular park at the intersection
of Ocean Boulevard, Seminole Road and 16th Street Mandalay Park, as
recommended by the Parks and Recreation Board in the referenced memo.
Commissioner Rosenbloom stated that he would not consider naming the
property and calling it a park considering its present neglected condition.
In conclusion, Mr. Waters reported the Parks and Recreation Board had begun
the process of finding a name for the Tresca property following the procedure
outlined in the memo.
E. Alan Potter of 374 Second Street

Mr. Potter spoke regarding the status of cleaning the drainage ditch north of
Fleet Landing which runs from A-1-A to Puckett Creek and suggested that
cleaning the ditch would be easier during the winter months when vegetation
growth is at its slowest.
City Manager Jarboe stated the City was working on a joint contract with the
Department of Transportation with no time certain for action on cleaning the
ditch.
3. Unfinished Business:
A. Appointment to Cultural Arts Board to fill unexpired
portion of a term to expire April 30, 1998
Mayor Fletcher stated he would like to appoint Woody Winfree to the
unexpired term on the Cultural Arts Board.

There was no discussion and the motion carried unanimously.
B. Action on request by William Morgan, Architect for
Francis Cove, to relocate the Francis Avenue pavement
Mayor Fletcher reported that since the January 13, 1997 Commission
Meeting, it has been learned the JEA would assume the cost of pole
relocation and line transfers, the sodding would be done by the Donner
Community Development Corporation and there would be no problems
with permitting by the St. Johns River Water Management District.
With those items taken care of, Mayor Fletcher continued by stating a
decision needed to be made regarding a survey for the property and
whether to choose Option 1 or 2 under the paving part of the project
listed in Public Works Director Kosoy's memo dated January 22, 1997.
(The memo is attached herewith and made part of this official record as
Attachment B).
The survey was discussed first with Commissioners Rosenbloom and
Shaughnessy opposing the need for the survey.

Francis Avenue pavement. REED X
ROSENBLOOM X X
SHAUGHNESSY X X
Commissioner Rosenbloom stated it was his understanding the city FLETCHER X
owned fifty-five feet of right-of-way and if the road was placed in the
middle of the right-of-way, there would be no need for a survey and it
would be less costly.
Commissioner Meserve inquired as to the need for a survey considering
at the previous meeting it was reported there was only one permanent
marker located and the developer's survey was questionable. City
Manager Jarboe then explained the surveying process and stated it would
cost $3,102.50 for the survey.
Some discussion ensued concerning whether there was a real need for
the survey. As a practical approach to the project, it was the consensus
of the Commission to use the existing survey and apply the savings to the
construction costs.
The motion carried unanimously.
Option 1 at a cost of$5,106.00 and Option 2 at a cost of$23,602.50
were briefly discussed.
MESERVE X X
Motion: Approve Option #2, as recommended by staff, in the REED X
amount of$23,602.50 less $3,102.50 (cost of survey) for a total ROSENBLOOM X
cost of$20,500. Waive bid procedure and accept low quote of SHAUGHNESSY X X
Warren's Asphalt, Inc. in the amount of$20,500.00. FLETCHER X
Commissioner Shaughnessy stated the Donner Community Development
Corporation has been working to upgrade the area for a number of years,
and residents of the area should enjoy the same infrastructure as the rest
of the citizens of Atlantic Beach.
Commissioner Rosenbloom stated he favored the project but would
prefer to go with Option 1 and save the more expensive work for
consideration at a later date. Further concern was expressed that
spending the $20,500.00 would be granting preferential treatment and
setting a double standard with regard to the city code concerning
charitable contributions. Concern was also expressed that other residents
V V
NAME OF
Minutes Page -5- COMMRS. MS Y N
January 27, 1997
would also ask to have roads moved.
Mayor Fletcher stated that moving a road was not a charitable
contribution, but part of providing basic municipal services.
Commissioner Reed expressed concern that choosing Option 2 would set
a precedent and stated he favored Option 1, but would like to see the
project move ahead.
Commissioner Meserve stated he believed the project would cost more
and be impractical if completed in two steps, and it was not charity, but
good business practice to move ahead with the project using Option 2.
Former Mayor Bill Gulliford, representing the Donner Community
Development Center Corporation, stated the action would correct an
encroachment. He related that when he was Mayor, the Donner CDC
was established by the City Commission for the purpose of improving
the area, and the Francis Cove development has benefitted the city by
putting the property on the tax rolls and lessening the amount of Public
Safety Department calls to the area. Mr. Gulliford also stated that the
lots were paid for by the Donner CDC and Community Development
Block Grant funds have paid for the development there.
Some discussion ensued concerning how the lots were obtained by
Donner CDC and City Clerk King was directed to research the minutes
concerning conveyance of the lots and bring the information to the next
Commission meeting.
After some further discussion, the question was called and the motion
passed by a four to one vote with Commissioner Rosenbloom voting nay.
Staff was directed to come back with a recommendation for funding of
the project at the next Commission meeting.

FLETCHER
Community Development Director Worley stated the Community
Development Board recommended denial of the rezoning request to
maintain the current zoning and prevent a different type of residential or
commercial use in the area.
Commissioner Meserve stated he agreed with the Board's
recommendation and felt the current zoning provided the needed buffer
between the commercial and residential zones.
Marcus Prom, owner of the property, stated the property is presently
zoned for thirty-four (34) residential units and he believed his proposed
use for offices and showrooms would provide lower density and be
preferable to high density residential development.
Mayor Fletcher stated he was committed to keeping Atlantic Beach a
residential community and believed the change from residential to
commercial would provide a major shift in zoning to which he was
opposed.
There being no further discussion, the motion carried unanimously.

Commissioner Reed inquired concerning the $68,107 contingency figure
and remaining funds figure of$116,772 as specified in the last
paragraph on page one of the memo dated January 21, 1997 from Public
Works Director Kosoy in comparison to the figures listed in the progress
report (Item 8B), and asked where the $116,772 could be found in the
progress report stating he believed the project was more than $1.4
million over-budget.
City Manager Jarboe stated that Commissioner Reed would be correct if
V V
NAME OF
Minutes Page -9- COMMRS. MS Y N
January 2'/, I991
the core city project was completed. Originally, part of the contingency
was $100,000+ under what was estimated and approved for by the
Commission. Figures in the spreadsheet of the progress report were
discussed and compared with those in the memo and the use of
contingency funds as a source to fund the recommended increase was
explained by City Manager Jarboe.
Some further discussion ensued concerning funding sources for the
projects, and it was the consensus of the Commission to hold a
workshop to review funding for the Capital Improvement Projects in
detail and the status of each individual project.
Alan Potter of 374 Second Street stated it appeared to him to be a
major redesign of an area within the project, not just a change order. He
also questioned some of the specific items listed in the change order,
including the lack of unit measures in the quantity column and the
related costs in the unit price column. He then asked for a more
thorough review of the costs listed, citing what he believed to be an
unusually high cost for asphalt removal .
Public Works Director Kosoy stated staff had reviewed the prices and
determined them to be fair considering the following conditions on
Beach Avenue: sandy soil, thickness of the asphalt to be removed, and
the narrowness of the site.
Commissioner Shaughnessy requested that unit measures of quantity be
included in future Change Orders given to the Commission and Public
Works Director Kosoy stated he would do so.
City Manager suggested that the Commission defer action on this matter
until the Special Commission Meeting next week with the engineers
present.

Commissioner Rosenbloom spoke of the magnitude of the projects being
undertaken and stated he agreed the price was high on the change order,
. but he had confidence in staff's expertise and decision on the matter.
Commissioner Reed agreed with taking staff's recommendation and
moving forward with the project. He also expressed a vote of confidence
for staff and pointed out that many bids were rejected because staff
recommended they were too high and to seek another route.
Mayor Fletcher stated that he preferred to defer the matter until next
week because some of the citizens in the area expressed concern of
having asphalt put down in the way planned resulting in speeding and he
did not want to loose the opportunity to make any changes in the type of
asphalt used
Commissioner Meserve stated he did not favor any delay in the project.
Commissioner Shaughnessy stated she favored taking a harder look
before making a final decision.
There being no further discussion the question was called and the motion
to defer failed by a two to three vote with Commissioners Meserve,
Reed and Rosenbloom voting nay.
The Commissioners then voted on the motion to approve the change
order and the motion passed by a three to two vote with Commissioner
Shaughnessy and Mayor Fletcher voting nay.

motions

NAME OF
Minutes Page -11- COMMRS. MS Y N
January 27, 1997
City Clerk King explained that ultimately, the action taken on an agenda
item is most important, and using written motions, although more time
consuming, would eliminate any future questions with regard to
interpreting what the Commission "really meant" when a motion was
made.
Much discussion ensued concerning the pros and cons of using written
motions, with the most negative factors being the time factor involved
and implementation of the procedure.
Mayor Fletcher stated that some motions were always fairly clear, i.e.,
those based on staff recommendations, and suggested implementation of
a policy that Charter Members call for a point of order and request a
written motion on matters of a substantive nature.
Commissioner Shaughnessy inquired if the policy should be written in
the form of a Resolution or Ordinance.
After some further discussion, it was the consensus of the Commission to
have the City Manager, City Attorney and City Clerk decide
procedurally on a policy for implementation of written motions and
bring the matter back at a future Commission meeting.
H. Discussion and action relative to Seminole Road
drainage ditch
Mayor Fletcher stated that he would like to schedule a meeting to hear
the presentation by the top three firms submitting plans for Bull Park, to
discuss the overall budgeting for the Capital Improvement Projects and
discussion of Seminole ditch. He then asked Commissioner
Shaughnessy if she wished to proceed with the discussion of the
Seminole Road drainage ditch tonight.
Commissioner Shaughnessy stated she had no objections to deferring
discussion of the Seminole Road ditch to the meeting, and then asked
for Commission input for the type of information needed to make a final
decision on the Seminole Road ditch.
Mayor Fletcher stated that he believed the culvert was cost prohibitive
and the percolation factor would be lost. Mayor Fletcher further stated
V V
NAME OF
Minutes Page -12- COMMRS. MS Y N
January 2'1, 1997
the banks of the existing ditch should be stabilized, with trees planted to
help with the stabilization, and a guardrail of wood or metal installed as
a safety factor.
Commissioner Shaughnessy then stated that some people still favored the
culvert and it needed to be discussed, with an engineer present and some
of the costs defined. Some discussion ensued concerning the high cost to
cover the ditch and the overall cost of the capital improvement projects.
After some further discussion, it was the consensus of the Commission to
hold a meeting on Tuesday, February 4, 1997, to discuss the Seminole
Road ditch, review the on-going capital improvement projects in the
city, review the Beach Avenue special assessments, and to receive the
presentations by the top three firms submitting conceptual design plans
for Bull Park.
Commissioner Rosenbloom, with regard to the Seminole ditch, stated he
was under the impression that a decision was made by the Commission
to wait to the end of the drainage improvement project, then review the
funds available, and at that time address the ditch issue.
Commissioner Rosenbloom the asked City Clerk King to research the
record to determine what was decided and bring the information to the
February 4, 1997 meeting.
City Manager Jarboe commented that the engineer was in the process of
designing the drainage system, and as part of the design it was assumed
the Seminole ditch was not going to be enclosed. City Manager Jarboe
further stated the Commission could not wait until the end of the project
to make a change from ditch to the culvert because each phase is
permitted in the design process.
Some further discussion ensued and Commissioner Meserve concurred
that the culvert was not a part of the overall plan, however, the guardrail
had not been decided and he believed that one was needed.

ATTACHMENT A _
JANUARY 27, 1997 COMMISSION MEETING
TO: ATLANTIC BEACH CITY COMMISSION
FROM: PARKS AND RECREATION BOARD
RE: NAME FOR TRIANGULAR PARK
It is the consensus of the Parks and Recreation Board that all properties
designated for parks be given names as soon as possible in order to avoid
misnomers. At least two current properties stand the possibility of forever
being remembered by the names of their sellers, i.e. Tresca and Dutton, if the
Commission does not name them in a timely fashion.
In pursuit of this objective, the Board, months ago, asked Mrs. King to run
an advertisement in the TIDEVIEWS to solicit names for a small triangular
piece of land at the intersections of Ocean Blvd. and Seminole Rd. and 16th
St. There were not a lot of suggestions, but the Parks and Recreation Board
found MANDALAY the most appealing and appropriate for our
northernmost park. Knowing that Mandalay already had a history in this
area, I asked Eleanor and Garnett Ashby about it and they pointed out that
a short extension of what most people think as Ocean Blvd. north of 16th St.
used to be named Mandalay; said name was also the description on the old
plat maps for the development.
By way of a little history, this park is a combination of a road closure of a
part of Dewees and a small parcel of land purchased originally for a lift
station which was never built. Former Commissioner Bob Cook also voted to
acquire the land so that a park there could be named in honor of Adele
Grage, but the Community Center has since been named for the former city
clerk. Several years ago the Commission designated it a park and it has
remained unnamed until this day.
Pursuant to these outlined goals, the Parks and Recreation Board
recommends that you name the triangular park at the intersections of
Seminole, Ocean and 16th "MANDALAY PARK" and ask the city clerk to
prepare a resolution to that effect.
We should also like to inform you that we have begun the process of seeking
a name for the Tresca property. Mrs. King will run the same "NAME THAT
PARK" ad that she ran last time in the TIDE VIEWS. Those suggestions plus
any others that are submitted to us will be ranked and compiled and, if
copious, then resubmitted to residents for a final vote. From among the
highest ranked, the Board will make its choice which we will then forward to
the Commission for final approval.

STAFF REPORT
AGENDA ITEM: ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON COST TO RELOCATE
FRANCIS AVENUE
SUBMITTED BY: Robert S. Kosoy/Director of Public Works
DATE: January 22, 1997
BACKGROUND: At the 1/13/97 City Commission Meeting,the architect for Francis
Cove,Mr. William Morgan,requested that the City relocate Francis Avenue to the center of the
55-foot wide right-of-way. Since Mr. Morgan's written request was made on 1/7/97, there was
insufficient time to obtain quotes prior to the last meeting but an estimate was furnished to the
City Manager on 1/8/97. The Commission requested that Staff obtain a cost for a property
survey and price proposals for the work prior to the 1/27/97 Commission Meeting.
SURVEY:
A Request for Proposal (RFP)for a right-of-way survey for Francis Avenue between
Donner and Jackson Roads was sent to four local surveyors. The responses were
requested by 1/22/97. Two surveyors faxed responses that they could not meet our
schedule(LD. Bradley Land Surveyors and Sunshine State Surveyors, Inc.) The
proposals received were from:
Ghiotto and Associates, Inc. - $3,102.50
Charles Bassett and Associates,Inc. - $3,520.00
PAVING:
Staff obtained quotes from three local paving contractors for two options:
1. Perform the minimum repaving required to remove the encroaching roadway
from the property of Francis Cove.
2. Relocate the roadway in general conformance with Mr. Morgan's request.

conversation with Robert S. Kosoy on 1/21/97, that the Donner Community Development
Corporation(DCDC)would be responsible for all sodding and seeding of the full
frontage of the new homes, i.e. up to the edge of the relocated pavement. This agreement
has not been confirmed verbally or in writing with Ms. Sharette Simpkins,the authorized
representative for the DCDC.
JACKSONVILLE ELECTRIC AUTHORITY:
On 1/16/97,Messrs. William Morgan for DCDC,Burt Lockridge from the JEA and
Robert Kosoy met and Mr. Lockridge stated that the existing electrical service had
outlived its useful life and pole relocations and line transfers would be made by JEA, as
requested by Mr. Morgan, at JEA's expense. Mr. Lockridge agreed to send a letter to Mr.
Morgan confirming this arrangement; however,we have not received a copy to date.
PERMITTING:
Mr. Jim Jacques contacted Mr. Patrick Victor of St. John's River Water Management
District and was advised that the proposed relocation of Donner Road would not require
a permit,but plans should be sent with a letter of explanation for their review.
RECOMMENDATION: If the City Commission chooses to elect Option#1. the cost will be
$5,106.00, or Option#2 will cost$23,602.50, assuming we receive written confirmation of the
verbal agreement offered by the DCDC&JEA. In either case, a funding source will need to be
identified.

Mr. Jim Jacques
The city of Atlantic Beach
Atlantic Beach, Florida
VIA FACSIMILE
RE: Proposal for Right-of-Way Survey of Francis Avenue Between Donner Road and
Jackson Road
Mr. Jacques:
Upon a field review of the site and review of your scope of services received by this office dated
January 14, 1997 (attached hereto)we propose the following estimate to complete the survey:
2.5 days field crew @$725/day = $1812.50
20 hours Survey Technician @$45/hour = 900.00
6 hours PSM @$65/hour = 390.00
$3102.50
This is an estimate only and is considered a worst case scenario. We will bill our cost at the
above hourly rates for the extent necessary to give you an accurate and reliable survey.
I anticipate that this estimate may seem excessive. I would ask that you consider the following:
A) We are being asked to verify an existing survey. We could actually provide a survey that
completely contradicts that existing survey. Therefore, I do not want to be in a position where
funds are not adequate to cover the cost of our work so that we are absolutely certain of our
location of the right-of-way. B) The area known as Donner Subdivision has a reputation of being
a very difficult area to survey, and after a field visit I can understand why. Fence lines do not
appear correct, right-of-way improvements appear to be inconsistently located and even homes
appear to be located incorrectly. Although I have not reviewed the record plat, my experience
tells me that it will probably not contain much survey data. At the time that plat was recorded,
many subdivisions were never monumented. The opportunity for error in placing monuments is
much greater than today and any error is perpetuated over time and will lead to the current
situation. C) Professional Liability Insurance covers Ghiotto and Associates, Inc. Being a
taxpaying resident of Atlantic Beach I would hope that the city would require liability insurance-of -
all proposing firms for this particular situation. •

Re:' Right-0f-Way survey for
Francis Avenue between Donner Road and Jackson Road
Dear Mr. Jacques:
Thank you for allowing us to submit this proposal for surveying services to
confirm the right-of-way lines of the referenced site together with the locating
of improvements within this area.
If there was not a boundary problem, our work in the field would take
approximately eight (8) hours. However, until we determine the depth of the
suhrounding boundary line problems, deed lines and possession line, we would
prefer to bill on hourly rates. Listed below are our anticipated costs:
1 ) Locate improvements and stake right-
of-way lines.
8 field hours $760.00
4 computation hours 180.00
10 drafting hours 450.00
2) Tie into A-1-A right-of-way line.
2 field hours $190.00
2 computation hours 90.00
2 drafting hours 90.00
3) Tie into the surrounding properties,
subdivisions, right-of-way lines,
etc. and research and compute in
order to justify our survey. �7( O X Z = 3`?--i
