Subdivision and requested advice regarding having an aerator installed in the
retention pond to help control duckweed. Ms. Pennell stated she had spoken
with Lake Doctors and they estimated the cost at $1,500 for the aerator.
Commissioner Shaughnessy suggested having the pond sprayed for the
duckweed before going to the expense of installing an aerator. It was also
suggested Ms. Pennell get with Public Works Director Kosoy to discuss other
methods of upkeep for the pond.
Commissioner Rosenbloom proposed the city and homeowners' association
work together as partners to solve the pond problem.
Alan Potter advised there used to be an aerator in the pond and if it could be
found, it might save the homeowners' association some money.
Publix Supermarket
Commissioner Rosenbloom requested the Mayor send a letter thanking Publix
for their contribution to the city's annual tree lighting ceremony.
Commissioner Shaughnessy requested a Resolution of Esteem be presented to
them at the next Commission Meeting.
Unfinished Business:
A. Dames and Moore presentation regarding proposed design of
Tresca Park
Edward G. Czyscon, Associate Director of Landscape Architecture with the
firm of Dames and Moore, presented a revised conceptual master plan for the
nine acre passive park, incorporating the following : one (1) canoe launching
area, one (1) large picnic area and several small picnic areas, an elevated
viewing area, interpretive signage, walking trails, the boardwalk, restrooms, a
dumpster, security lighting to provide ffor increased safety , and gates. Mr.
Czyscon stated the senses garden and playground could be added later. The
cost estimate for the park, including consultant fees and contingency was
reported at $350,000, down from the previous figure of $540,000.
Mayor Fletcher then invited public discussion of the proposed park.
Barbara Hopson, a member of the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board, stated
she was in favor of the revised park design as presented by Mr. Cayscon.

Public Safety Director Thompson stated he believed a staff person should be
assigned to work at the park for some level of safety and referred to his memo
dated November 26, 1996 addressing the safety issue for the park. The memo
is attached and made part of this official record (Attachment C).
Commissioner Rosenbloom inquired if it would be feasible to have a police
officer live in a trailer on-site. Chief Thompson stated that a police officer
would not be responsible for trash pick up and this would not accomplish the
intent of having staff serve the site.
MESERVE X
REED X
Motion: Approve master plan for Tresca Park as presented. ROSENBLOOM x X
SHAUGHNESSY X X
Commissioner Meserve stated that he was not on the Commission when the FLETCHER X
Tresca property was purchased and expressed the following concerns
regarding development of the land as a park: the remoteness of the area,
security and on-going maintenance costs of approximately $60,000 per year
and limited accessability at the canoe launch at low tide which would provide
only a part-time use of the park. Commissioner Meserve continued by stating
that Dutton Island may be more usable for canoes with deep water all of the
time, and with the city's limited resources, Dutton Island would be the better
option to develop as a park. He then asked for the other Commissioners'
opinions of what park land - Tresca or Dutton Island, they would choose to
develop due to the limited resources available .
Commissioner Reed expressed the same concerns as Commissioner Meserve,
including whether the park could be maintained without adding staff. He
continued by stating the on-going maintenance costs were not defined in the
proposed management plan and he believed the city would eventually have to
raise taxes just to support parks' maintenance. Commissioner Reed further
stated that before he could vote for a management plan for the park, it would
have to include on-going costs relative to maintenance.
Mayor Fletcher stated he believed the park would be used by families for a
quiet space - a place to enjoy the birds, sunsets, etc. A place for school field
trips and in the future a marine science center were also mentioned as uses for
the park. He further stated that he believed both park projects could be
accomplished and should be complimentary to each other as parts of a whole
park system.
With regard to the concerns expressed, Patricia Goelz of the Parks and
Recreation Advisory Board stated she would ask John Mann of the Seminole
Canoe and Kayak Club to give an opinion on the proposed canoe launch sites,
V V
Minutes Page -4- NAME OF
December 9, 1996 COMMAS. MS Y N
and trail maintenance information could be obtained from the University of
North Florida. As for trash pick up, Ms. Goelz stated that
from the beginning, the Parks and Recreation Board thought that users of the
park would be responsible for carrying their own trash from the site.
After some further discussion of the costs associated with both parks,
Commissioner Meserve requested clarification of what the city was voting on at
this time and where the city stood regarding the pending Dutton Island
negotiations.
Mayor Fletcher explained at this time the Commission would be voting on the
master plan for Tresca Park, and the management plan would be addressed
after the master plan. He then gave a status report on Dutton Island.
Commissioner Shaughnessy thanked Mr. Czyscon for his cost cutting design
and stated that a window of opportunity existed for the city to take advantage
of grant funds available which may not be available in the future.
Commissioner Shaughnessy continued by stating she favored the plan and if the
city runs out of money it should stop, but she would like to proceed with the
park.
Commissioner Rosenbloom expressed agreement with Commissioners Meserve
and Reed and asked everyone to consider what their votes would be if the city
built the park and no one used it, or the canoe club said no to the proposed
canoe launch site. He also expressed concern the original cost of the park was
set at $100,000 and now the trimmed down version was $350,000. In
conclusion, Commissioner Rosenbloom asked Mr. Czyscon what would
happen if the bids to construct the park came in higher than the $260,000
budgeted for construction. Mr. Czyscon stated historically he would redesign
the park to get it within the city's budget.
Commissioner Reed inquired as to the budgets/funding for Tresca and Dutton
Island Parks. City Manager Jarboe explained as much as $396,000 could be
available to the city in grants for Tresca Park, which included an $118,000
Preservation 2000 grant, $80-82,000 in barge canal monies, and a 50-50%
matching grant of$200,000+ from the Florida Inland Navigational District. For
the purchase of Dutton Island, he reported the city would provide $257,000,
the City of Jacksonville would provide an equal amount, the Jacksonville Port
Authority $60,000, and the State of Florida $575,000.
After clarification of the intent of the original motion, the question was called
and the motion carried unanimously.

B. Approval of final Management Plan for Tresca Park
MESERVE X
Motion: Approve final management plan with direction to proceed REED X
with the project. ROSENBLOOM X X
SHAUGHNESSY X X
Community Development Director Worley stated since the master plan for the FLETCHER X
park had been approved, the city could now apply for the Inland Navigational
Waterways grant, and had until May to apply for the Preservation 2000 grant
of$119,000.
City Manager Jarboe stated that the management plan should include only the
minimum requirements of the plan, and if the Commission wished to proceed
with the project, a budget resolution would be needed to transfer the funds.
MESERVE X
Amendment to the motion: Approve the management plan now REED X
and defer funding for proceeding with the project to the next ROSENBLOOM X
SHAUGHNESSY X X
Regular Commission meeting. FLETCHER X X
Continuing with the discussion of the management plan, Commissioners Reed
and Meserve expressed concern for the future maintenance costs of the park,
and inquired where $60,000+ in projected maintenance costs would come from
for next year's budget. Both Commissioners expressed the need to budget
maintenance funds for the park up front as part of the budget process.
Commissioner Rosenbloom requested clarification of the funding sources and
stated that he believed use of the barge canal monies should be spread
throughout the city, not used on one project.
After considerable discussion, the question was called and the amended motion
passed by a three to two vote with Commissioners Reed and Rosenbloom
voting nay.
C. Action on 3% cost of living increase for retirees
It was reported that it was over seven years since retirees received a cost of
living pay increase. The actuarial study by Gabriel, Roeder, Smith and
Company indicated that the-one time increase of 3% would cost the city
$3,039.00 for general, police and fire retirees. MESERVE X

Under discussion, Commissioner Rosenbloom inquired who was going to pay
for the increase, the city or the Pension Board. Commissioner Rosenbloom
further stated he believed the issue should go back before the Pension Board for
a recommendation and the City and Pension Board should share the costs.
Some further discussion ensued and Don Ford, General Employee
Representative on the Pension Board, stated he did not believe the Pension
Board would agree to share the cost of the increase.

increase in the amount of$3,039.00 contingent upon the Pension ROSENBLOOM X

FLORIDA, ADOPTING SIGNAGE SPECIFICATIONS
FOR PARKS AND PUBLIC BUILDINGS
Mayor Fletcher stated that the resolution needs to be rewritten as an
ordinance and it was the consensus of the Commission to defer action
on the ordinance until the next regular Commission Meeting.
Some discussion ensued concerning the intent of the proposed sign
changes which would set a standard for signs on city parks and public
buildings.
Commissioner Reed stated that he did not want to fund replacement of
existing signs.
City Attorney Jensen suggested a grandfather clause which would
include a time frame for replacement of existing signs.
Commissioner Shaughnessy, Commission Liaison to the Parks and
Recreation Board, stated it was the intent of the Board to set a standard
for all signs, to not immediately replace all of the signs and for the
Commission to determine a timetable for replacement.
Commissioner Meserve asked the Commission to consider the use of
other materials such as resin or recycled plastic.
City Attorney Jensen was directed to rewrite the resolution in ordinance
form for first reading at the January 13, 1996 Commission Meeting.

for it, not the individual property owners in the core city area, which includes
the east and west streets bounded by Ahern Street, Seminole Road, Sherry and
East Coast Drives. He further stated the city would benefit because curb and
gutter would channel the water flow, increase the longevity of the roads and
lower maintenance costs. It was also stated that funding the $330,000 would
eliminate the need for a public hearing resulting from the special assessment.
Commissioner Shaughnessy agreed with Commissioner Meserve's statement.
Commissioner Reed pointed out at a previous meeting, the Commission had
agreed if the project came in under bid, to pass the reduction on to the affected
property owners. In conclusion, he stated he believed the Commission should
wait for the design costs before making any decision.
Commissioner Rosenbloom stated he believed that not assessing the property
owners for this project would set a dangerous precedent for future projects.
City Attorney Jensen related he had been contacted by many residents of the
area who were opposed to the curb and gutter. Charles Lindsey of 347 Third
Street and Barbara Hopson of 760 Sherry Drive both spoke in opposition to the
curb and gutter.
Much discussion ensued concerning the special assessment procedure in relation
to the timetable for the entire project.

costs up to $1.2 million inclusive, with City Commission to consider ROSENBLOOM X

Alan Potter of 374 Second Street stated that he had been involved with
installation of water and sewer lines, streets, and curb, gutter and drainage in
new subdivisions and reported current front foot costs of between $90.00 to
$110.00 for the same. He stated the proposed curb and gutter was not being
installed in a new subdivision, but he felt there was some give-and-take
involved in the installation, and figured there was approximately 56,000 front
feet of property to be considered. Using a figure of$100/f.f., Mr. Potter
calculated a project cost of$5.5 million, as opposed to the city's estimated cost
of approximately $8.0 million . Mr. Potter also stated there were several water
mains and sewer lines he believed did not need to be totally replaced because
they were still functioning, which would further lower costs.
Commissioner Rosenbloom indicated he took umbrage to Mr. Potter's
comments. He stated he was tired of Mr. Potter berating the city officials

ATTACHMENT A _
DECEMBER 9, 1996 COMMISSION MEETING
To Whom it may concern:
From: Patricia Goetz
Concerning: The Florida Trails and Greenways Conference held Nov. 7-9, 1996,
Gainesville, Florida
The Greenways Conference was attended by approximently 260 people
representing many of the active Florida cities and counties. The State government
was represented, as was the Federal government. Mr. Jim Murky, State Secretary,
Department of Community Affairs was vocal about the development of greenways
through the urban corridors of Florida as well as the rural areas. Chris Abbett, of
the U.S. National Parks Service Rivers, Trails & Conservation Assistance Office was
present throughout the conference to help with questions. The Rails-to-Trails
Conservancy (RTC)) was the main facilitator of the conference. I participated in
several workshops. There were times when I wanted to be in three places at once!
The DEP defines greenway as "a corridor of protected open space that is
managed for conservation and/or recreation. The common characteristic of green-
ways is that they all go somewhere. Greenways follow natural land or water features,
like ridges or rivers, or human landscape features like abandoned railroad corridors
or canals. They link natural reserves, parks, cultural and historic sites with each
other and, in some cases, with populated areas. Greenways not only protect environ-
mentally sensitive lands and wildlife, but can also provide people with access to
outdoor recreation and enjoyment close to home."
Here are notes from the workshops I attended.
Workshop #1: Socio-Economic Benefits through Marketing Strategies.
Presenters: Sally Thompson, West Orange Trail Administrative team; Dennis
Mackee, Fish & Game; and Herb Hiller, citizen activist.
This workshop discussed the benefits of marketing greenways and how to make them
happen.
Sally Thompson and the staff of the West Orange Trail gave examples of what
worked for them in regards to marketing their rail-trail park from inception to
completion.
* Form a task force. Include one member from each city or county department, i.e.
Public Works, Parks & Rec., Public Safety, etc. Also include elected officials and
user groups. (Then the county allowed citizens to run subcommittees.)
* Tour the proposed park area with all public officials. Take this same group to
view an already existing trail. This will help with gaining a vision for the new
project.
* Pick a creative title for your trail. A name with a theme or visual recognition
has more eye appeal. (One trail is called the Frog and Alligator Trail and their
t-shirts and publication are very noticeable.) A logo design contest was used after
the trail name was established.
* Create a newsletter for the public and city. Begin to create a vision of what this
park is all about.
* Hold a kick-off breakfast at the trail head as work begins.
* Include staff moral boosters and thank yous as the project is under way.
* Give away or sell posters of the greenway trail. Using a local artist may enhance
this project.
* The use of a moveable display board was a great asset to the group when they
were promoting the trail. It seemed they also used it to update the public as to what
was going on with the trail.
* 'Adopt a Greenway' campaign was established while the trail was under
construction as well as after its completion. The participants included the public
and private sector.
Dennis Mackee of the Fish and Game Commission gave general ideas to
enhance the users (hikers, canoeist, tourist, etc.) experience. Try to connect trails or
parks to similar systems so as to attract more tourists. Mackee suggested identifying
species of wildlife or plantlife for viewers where possible. Drawing the person into
the surrounding helps enrich their experience. Workshops have been developed for
outdoor groups such as canoe outfitters, through the Watchable Wildlife Program to
help bring in tourism. He also commented that the Neilson rating has pin-pointed
historical and cultural, hiking and biking, as well as wildlife viewing as ranking high
on their entertainment index indicating that greenways are a viable economic venture
for cities and counties.
Herb Hiller's main focus was towards helping define clients and their
experiences. He urged us to redefine 'the experience'. His example of this was how
Concorde Airlines and the QE II have worked together to give a true round-trip
experience to the travel industry. He suggested getting creative.
Workshop 2: Waterways as Greenways
Presenters: David Gluckman and Tara Alford
Moderator: Kraig McLane (St. Augustine Rail-Trail coordinator)
Discussion of the evolution of the trail, promotion of the trail, user conflicts,
consensus building, partnerships, design, management, etc.
Tara Alford is from the Office of Waterway Management, Florida Marine
Patrol, Division of Law Enforcement. She reviews the criteria for obtaining uniform
Waterway Informational Markers within a trial. She has been working with all the
waterway agencies to bring this uniformity about. All waterway signage must go
through her office.
Ms. Alford pointed out that a city or county can impede the use of motorized
boats in an oxbow area of a waterway through local legislation. Ed Poppell is our
east coast representative for this office. He can help with any questions we have.
David Gluckman represented the 85 mile Big Bend Seagrass Preserve Trail off
the west coast of Florida. He mentioned the ease at which this trial's formation
passed through the Florida Legislation. It seems to deem something an Aquatic
Preserve procedures need to go through the State legislature and a Heritage Trail
recognition would need State and Federal designation. Mr. Gluckman noted that the
hardest part of forming a waterways trail is establishing camping for the trail. He
noted that more camping is being allowed in wildlife preserves these days and to
look to Trusts for Public Lands and Recreational Trails Council for help.
Workshop 3: Cross Seminole Trail: A Rail-Trial in the making
Presenters: Grey Wilson, Ben Griffith
This workshop examined the progress of a rail-trial from its inception to acquisition
and plans for its development using the Cross-Seminole Trail as an example.
The state owns this trail and the county developed and maintains it. It started
out as an unpaved trail, when funding became available it was then paved, and then
the amenities were added. They recommended looking beyond the trail budget for
services. They used 'chain-gangs' for clearing, clean-up and building of kiosks.
They established a pride program, vocational & educational program for this trail.
The Cross-Seminole Trail was developed through the Comprehensive Planning
Department and when completed turned over to the Parks & Recreation Department.
Ben Griffith, Senior Planner for Seminole County recommended using
construction contractors and developers to help with these types of projects. There
is a recognized benefit to locating developments next to or adjacent to trails.
These types of trails should be included in county development plans. Also in the
expansion of mass transit, locating trail-head sites at Park & Ride lots giving these
areas dual usage and encouraging alternate transportation options.
Seminole County has a 24 member task force for developing trails. This task
force includes School Board members, Police, User groups, 2 at-large commis-
sioners, and all city are represented.
Mr. Griffith recommend Community Work Days, Volunteer Clean-up Days,
and use of the National Guard Service.
Workshop 4: Developing Livable Communities- Sustainable Development
Presenters: Robert Kramer and Reid Ewing
Location: Haile Plantation
The workshop was held to discuss examples of livable communities that draw
together economic, social equity and environment considerations.
The workshop was held at Haile Plantation. This is a large suburban
community outside Gainesville. It is a beautiful example of how a community can
include walking and biking trails into their plans to unify the area as well as incor-
porate multi-use (business abd residential) buildings into their core downtown area.
The Closing session commended the accomplishments of the Greenways
Project and it's 40 member Commission and Governor Chiles declaration of
November as Florida Greenways Month.
Assistance is available for our city and county to develop our lands to provide
us with the greenspace we need to sustain our human and wildlife population. The
Department of Community Affairs, the Florida Community Trust, and the other
agencies such as 1000 Friends of Florida are available to our community to support
for our city's vision.
Even with all of this support, the future of the Greenways Project is at stake.
The ISTEA funding which supports the development and acquisition of land for trails
must be approved again in this next year. Without this funding the Greenways
Project will not be able to flourish.
The closing ISTEA remarks inspired me to ask the commission of Atlantic
Beach to consider sending a message to Washington to support the Highway
Enhancement Funding which monetarily supports Greenways Projects. Florida and
twenty other states give more money to the federal highway fund than it receives.
Our Florida representatives would like to see this change and I can agree with that.
They would also like to do away with the highway enhancement portion of this tax
and with that I cannot agree. The development of greenways relies on this money
and would be greatly hampered. Atlantic Beach has gained a lot from the ISTEA
funding. Without this federal money we would not have part of our great park
system! I would like the commission to send a letter expressing our desires to retain
this funding.
On the subject of local greenways, linkage from Atlantic Beach to other beach
cities, Jacksonville, and St. John's county would tie us into a wonderful system.
These could include bike paths, hiking and canoe trails. Support is available for this
type of endeavor.
Lastly, working together within our own community towards the best park
system is a goal of mine. I think the Bull Park subcommittee work was a start to the
formation of the task force type development I heard about at this conference.
I would like to see the city use this type of development in all of our greenspace
endeavors. We have a wonderful system of parks and I look forward to seeing them
mature and grow.
Thank you for your time.
Warmest regards,
Patricia T. Goelz

RE: "Wants" vs "Needs"
(Tide-Views, Winter 1996)
Dear Commissioners:
In the recent "Tide-Views", Mayor Fletcher has written words of good advice to all Atlantic
Beach citizens. Those most important words are:
"It's about denying wants so that needs can be met."
In my opinion, those wants versus needs words should be given the highest priority and
attention by the City Commission and the City Management.
For example, items that deserve review include:
1 Tresca Park --- a passive park with a projected land plus development
cost approaching $700,000. This amounts to approximately $100,000
per dry-land acre.
2 Dutton Island --- a land purchase for approximately $1 .000,000
(Atlantic Beach a 25% participant). That land is valued by the Duval
County Property Appraiser at $456,409; a 219% disparity. (See
attachment).
3 Old Atlantic Beach reconstruction --- a $6,000,000-plus project to
repair and/or replace streets, drainage, water and sewer facilities.
Much of the proposed work, as many citizens have stated, fails to
have either a want or a need.

In my opinion, the debt obligation of the City of Atlantic Beach is at an all-time high. Funds
to properly own, operate, and maintain all of the municipal facilities is substantially pledged
to service that debt. Future monetary requirements, sans new debt, should receive
immediate attention.
The Atlantic Beach government should reexamine whether "municipal needs" and
"public officials' wants" have been confused.
Very truly yours,
Al W. Potter, Sr.

Chairman Don Wolfson called the meeting to order and asked for approval of the
minutes from the meeting of October 15, 1996. Upon motion made and seconded the
minutes were approved.
OLD BUSINESS:
I. Application for Variance filed by Kent Enterprises, Inc., to reduce parking
requirements and waive island requirement in parking lot for property located at 751
Atlantic Boulevard.
John Kent of Kent Theaters introduced himself to the board and presented a revised
landscape and parking plan prepared by Ron Slade of Powers &Merritt Architects and
drawn pursuant to the landscape code but providing 193 parking spaces which includes
the south part of the adjacent property in the overall theater plan.
Mr. Kent indicated that the irrigation system is not shown on the plan but would be
installed completely according to code.
On Mr. Worley's suggestion, the applicant has included a 5-foot grass strip around the
south and east side of the north part of the adjacent property where the edge of the
theater property consists of a driveway but requested that only eight trees be planted.
•
After discussion, the Chairman moved to grant the variance as presented provided:
1. The irrigation plan be implemented in compliance with city ordinance;
2. The parking requirement be reduced to 193 spaces;
3. The applicant be held to eight trees on the L shape location and clustered in
such a way as to be protected in the future and maintained indefinitely by the contractor
as well as the owner. Mr. Frohwein seconded the motion.
After discussion, Mr. Wolfson amended his motion to exclude the requirement of
landscaping at the rear of the property on the north side. Mr. Frohwein seconded the
amended motion and the variance was granted by a unanimous vote.
NEW BUSINESS:
I. Application for Variance filed by Dorothy Papazian to remodel a nonconforming
structure located at 587 Beach Avenue.
Michael Leinenweber, contractor for the applicant, introduced himself and explained
that Mrs. Papazian had asked him to appear on her behalf. He stated that the applicant
desires to construct an addition on the rear of an existing garage to be used as a
secondary dwelling. The addition will be attached to the east side of the building and
continue along the south line. The original structure was a garage larger than its current
size. Half of the structure was demolished and the remaining structure used for storage.
After discussion, the Chairman moved to approve the variance and Pat Pillmore
seconded the motion.
Mr. Frohwein expressed concern about the proximity of the structures and felt that the
request was not a minimum request by the applicant.
The Chairman indicated that his motion for approval was based on the wrong survey
and withdrew the motion.
After discussion, Mr Frohwein moved to deny the variance and Mr. Grunthal seconded
the motion.
The Chairman explained that if a vote was taken and the variance denied the applicant
would have to wait a year before reapplying. It appearing that the consensus was denial,
Mr. Leinenweber asked that the application be withdrawn to allow the applicant to
present a revised application that the board may be more inclined to approve.
The Chairman requested the application be placed on the agenda for the next regularly
scheduled meeting.
-X" II. Application for Use-by-Exception filed by Billy Joe Witt to operate a jeep specialty
shop at property known as 20 Donner Road.
Billy Witt introduced himself and explained that he desired to open a jeep specialty shop

J. P. Marchioli, Peter Coalson, Joan Carver and Pete Dowling introduced themselves and
expressed their approval of the request.
Bob Weiss introduced himself and explained that he was not in favor of granting the use-
by-exception due to the fact that alcohol is served at the premises.
After discussion, Mr. Frohwein moved to recommend approval of the use-by-exception.
At the Chairman's request, Mr. Frohwein withdrew his motion.
The Chairman asked if anyone present had any problems regarding parking at the
location. There being no response, Mr. Frohwein restated his motion. Mr. Grunthal
seconded the motion and the board voted unanimously to recommend approval of the
use-by-exception,
.1..
IV. Application for Variance filed by Peter Coalson on behalf of Bob Blohm to
construct an addition that will encroach the setback requirements of property located at
1057 Beach Avenue.
Peter Coalson introduced himself to the board and explained that Mr. Blohm purchased
the property with the hope of constructing a second story garage and covered front
stoop. He read several letters from neighbors expressing their support of the
improvements. He stated the 60-foot frontage under the present plan would allow for
a 5'4" setback on the north side, a 5-foot setback on the south side and an open
breezeway of 5'6" for an aggregate of 16 feet.
Mr. Worley explained that the property consists of two 30-foot lots and the proposed
addition will be attached to the original structure by a 5.5 foot long breezeway. He
stated that under "Definitions" the code addresses the issue of combining two 30-foot
lots.
After discussion, Mr. Wolfson moved to approve the variance with the following
conditions:
1. That the building be used only for a garage;
2. That no second floor be constructed on the building.
Mr. Grunthal seconded the motion and the variance was granted by a vote of 3 - 2 with
Mr. Frohwein and Mrs. Walker dissenting.
The board agreed to hold a special meeting on December 17, 1996 to discuss proposed
amendments to the Zoning Code,
The board will hold election of officers at the next regularly scheduled meeting.
There being no further business to come before the board on motion duly made the
meeting was adjourned.

MINUTES OF THE WORKSHOP MEETING OF ATLANTIC BEACH CITY COMMISSION
HELD IN CITY HALL CONFERENCE ROOM AT 6:30 PM ON MONDAY, DECEMBER 9,
1996.
PRESENT: Lyman T. Fletcher, Mayor
John S. Meserve, City Commissioner
Tim Reed, City Commissioner
Steven M. Rosenbloom, City Commissioner
Suzanne Shaughnessy, City Commissioner
ALSO: James R. Jarboe, City Manager
Ann Meuse, Finance Director
Robert S. Kosoy, Public Works Director
James Jacques, Asst. Public Works Dir.
Maureen King, City Clerk
AND: Hugh Mathews, Consulting Engineer
The meeting, which was held for the purpose of discussing the status of the budget for the capital
improvement projects, was called to order by Mayor Fletcher.
The City Manager presented a schedule of the projects which would be funded from bond funds
along with the budgeted amounts and the estimated costs of the various projects, a copy of which
is attached hereto. He explained that he wanted the City Commissioners to be informed as to the
status of the projects and the budget.
Discussion ensued regarding whether rate increases would be required and Ann Meuse explained
that the last of the incremental rate increases which were approved in 1992 would take place on
January 1, 1997. She indicated that the rates were adequate to pay the debt service and operation
of the system. It was the consensus of the City Commission that it would be desirable to keep
the rates at the present rate for a couple of years and then increase in small increments rather than
wait until a much larger increase was necessary.
Discussion ensued regarding the proposed curbs and gutters for the core section of the city and it
was felt that even though this would increase the cost of the project considerably, the curbs and
gutters would provide additional benefits through better drainage, including the option for
property owners to drain their back yards; it also would protect the edges of the streets, thus,
requiring less maintenance.
Discussion also ensued regarding whether the curbs and gutters should be funded through
assessments against the property owners and Commissioner Rosenbloom felt that by not assessing
the property owners, the city could be faced with a problem in the future when other areas of the
city may request curbs and gutters, or when some of the private streets in the city are repaved.
