relative to a problem with the location of a water line on his
property. The City Manager explained that because of an erroneous
survey Mr. Andresen's house encroached into the easement and a
portion of the 10-inch water line ran under the house. The cost to
move the water line was estimated to be in the neighborhood of some
$3,000 to $4,000 and Mr. Andresen was agreeable to moving the water
line at his own expense. Mr. Andresen said he had a tentative
agreement with A.J. Johns who had agreed to do the work in
accordance with City standards. Mr. Andresen was authorized to
proceed with the work and keep the City Manager and Public Services

5. New Business:

an increase in authorization of fees in connection with their
services in the recycling arra composting work of the Solid Waste
Committee
The City Manager reported arrangements were almost complete for the
recycling program to go into effect July 4, 1989. The question of
composting still needed to be addressed and it was felt Mr. May of
Gee and Jenson could be helpful in this area. Mr. Fellows
indicated in his opinion an additional $10,000.00 would be an
adequate amount to complete the study of the solid waste disposal
question.

Jenson in connection with their services in the Edwards x x
recycling and composting work in an amount not to Jensen x
exceed $10,000.00 Tucker x x

specifications for recycling and had saved the City a considerable
amount of money through his work with the Solid Waste Committee.
The question was called and the motion carried unanimously
B. Discussion on any additional actions required in connection
with the provisions of Chapter 166.261, Florida Statutes, which
controls investments made by nnmicip 1 i ties
The City Manager explained the Florida Statutes state specifically
how municipalities are to make their investments and the auditors
had recommended the City develop a written investment policy. It
was, however, the auditors' opinion the City had a good investment
policy, if somewhat conservative.
The City Attorney explained he had prepared a Resolution to comply
with the requirements of the Statute that governing bodies shall by
Resolution from time to time, invest or reinvest in certain
securities.
The Mayor requested the Resolution be an agenda item at the next
meeting in order to give the Commissioners and the Finance Director
an opportunity to review it. The Finance Director had prepared some
comments relative to investments and the Mayor requested this
material be made available to the other Commissioners, and also

requested the Finance Director to prepare an investment report
for the Commission on a quarterly basis.

Tucker for permission so that a carnival can be held March 23
through April 2, 1989 frau approximately 11:00 AM until
approximately midnight on the Fleet Reserve parking area off
Mayport Road
In view of complaints from neighbors relative to similar activities
at this location in the past, the City Manager asked Chief Thompson
for his comments on this activity. Chief Thompson explained the
Police Department had surveyed neighbors in that area and while
same complaints were received about noise, the majority of the
complaints were about the turkey shoots and not carnivals or
similar activities. Mr. Tucker was not in the audience to answer
questions relative to who would be the recipient of the funds,
insurances to be provided, etc. and it was the general consensus
this information should be provided to the City.
Notion: Grant approval to hold the carnival subject to the Cook x
City Manager and City Attorney ascertaining the Edwards x x
carnival is for a valid purpose and the organizers Jensen x x
comply with all state laws and Ordinances of the Tucker x
City. Gulliford x
In further discussion the City Manager was requested to contact
Commissioners and advise them of his findings, and in the event
complaints are received relative to noise, it was agreed the
activities would be shut down. The question was called and the
motion carried unanimously.
D. Discuss the request of the Beaches of Jacksonville Chamber of
Camerce to donate $2,000.00 to defray costs of the First Annual
First Coast Maritime Art and History Exhibition August 11, 12 and
13, 1989
The City Attorney reported it was his opinion public funds could
not be contributed to the Chamber of Commerce to promote a specific
event. The Mayor said regardless of the legality of the question,
he did not feel it was appropriate to expend public funds for
purposes which could be construed not to represent the overall
public good of the citizens of Atlantic Beach.
The subject died for lack of a motion.
