Recognition of Visitors Joanne Morrisseau and Roxanne Curry, representatives of the firm of ,harry, Pappas, Morrisseau, which had been contracted to promote the mandatory recycling program to become effective July 4, 1989, presented a brief program stressing the importance of education. Ricky Raccoon, the program mascot, was introduced and a brief outline of the program was presented. Caroline Mansfield sang a jingle about recycling and invited the audience to join in. * * * * * * * * * * Ray Schaubell, 423 20th Street, addressed the commission relative to a fence which had recently been constructed by a neighbor and which he felt was not in keeping with the intent of the recently passed ordinance establishing a method for measuring the height of fences and walls. He explained at some length his contacts with city employees relative to the issuance of the permit and the construction of the fence. The City Manager said he felt the intent of the ordinance was that no fence should be higher than six feet. The construction of a six foot fence on top of a burro would be an apparent attempt to circumvent the requirement of the ordinance and Ms. Angers had indicated she would contact the property owner when she returned from vacation and request that the fence be removed. Mayor Gulliford said the commission may wish to review the )rdinance to see if the intent of the Commission could be :larified. PAGE 'IWO V V MINUTES NAME OF MAY 22, 1989 COMMAS. M S Y N 3.

Cook x Notion: Approve passage of Consent Agenda with the exception Edwards x x of items A and D Jensen x x Tucker x No discussion before the vote. The motion carried unanimously. Gulliford x Consent Agenda Item A Commissioner Cook asked what criteria had been used for the selection of the City Manager Search Committee. Mayor Gulliford said, with the exception of Ms. King, this was the committee which had reviewed the City Clerk applications, and it was his wish to bring the selection before the Commission for their approval and any suggestions they may wish to make. Cook x x Notion: Approve selection of City Manager Search Committee Edwards x x as presented Jensen x Tucker x No discussion. The motion carried unanimously. Gulliford x Consent Agenda Item D :commissioner Cook asked for an explanation of the proposed "computer modeling." The City Manager explained last August Gee and Jenson had reported two problems in the Buccaneer system; the unequal distribution of chlorine and a problem with low pressure. The chlorine distribution problem had been corrected and Gee and Jenson had also recommended a computer modeling hydraulic study of the system to determine the mains which needed to be increased in size or replaced, to eliminate the low pressure problem. No action had been taken on that, and since hooking up the Oak Harbor subdivision, the low pressure problem had worsened. Gee and Jenson indicated the price quoted last August would still be honored and the work could be accomplished under their existing contract for water plant and water main improvements. The City Manager further explained a computer print-out would provide an illustration of the Buccaneer system and Harry McNally, Buccaneer Division Chief, said the price of $13,000 would include a considerable amount of field work.

Commissioner Glenn Edwards, Chairman of the Awards Committee, with the recommendations of the committee relative to auditors for the upcoming fiscal year Commissioner Edwards reported the committee had ranked the top four firms in the following order: Purvis Gray & Company, Coopers and Lybrand, Arthur Young, and Touche Ross. Representatives from Purvis Gray and Company said they felt their company was well qualified to do the work. They had been involved in governmental auditing since 1946 and currently audit fourteen cities, including Green Cove Springs. They proposed a fee of $14,000 which would include all the services outlined in the RFP. Mayor Gulliford asked that the Commission be given some time to consider the fee and for the Finance Director to report back at the next meeting, after which an agreement could be formalized. B. Commissioner Glenn Edwards, chairman of the Awards Committee, with a report and recommendations relative to the bids received for fire engines and fire equipment. 2ommissioner Edwards reported, after considerable discussion and review and evaluation of the bids, Emergency One was the low bidder on the fire truck at $178,000 and the mini-pumper at $52,000. The committee recommended the bids, totalling $294,096.06 be awarded as follows: Arrow Products, Longwood, Florida $13,341.14; Motorola, Jacksonville, Florida $5,651.00; Ten-8 Fire Company, Orlando, Florida $41,845.61; and Emergency One, Ocala, Florida $233,258.31. Cook x Nbtion: Authorize awarding bid in accordance with the Edwards x x recommendations of the committee Jensen x Tucker x x Brief discussion followed relative to financing and it was pointed GUlliford x out First Union had quoted a rate 8.04% which was considered an excellent rate. The City Attorney said ad valorem taxes could not be used and he would look into alternative sources of revenue which could be used, subject to the approval of the commission. The question was called and the motion carried unanimously. C. Commissioner Glenn Edwards, chairman of the Awards Committee, with a report and recommendations on bids received on used garbage trucks Commissioner Edwards reported no bids had been received for the purchase of the city's used garbage trucks. After a full liscussion by the committee, it was their recommendation the trucks ,.ie declared surplus and sold a public auction. • PAGE FIVE V V MINUTES NAME OF MAY 22, 1989 COMMRS. MSYN After further discussion, Mayor Gulliford asked that invitations to bid be sent to cities in the northeast Florida area and go through the bidding process again. If this is not successful the trucks could be disposed of at public auction at a future date. 5. Old Business: A. Further discussions in regards to comments by citizens on the safety aspects of jet skis Mayor Gulliford asked Chief Thompson to report relative to his research on the subject. Chief Thompson said the Marine Patrol had recommended enforcement be done by the police department and had provided them with boating citations and manuals and had agreed to provide personnel to train the officers. The lifeguards would be on duty daily between 10:00 AM and 5:00 PM within a few days and they would contact the police department regarding any problems. He outlined some of the safety features of the vehicles indicating the vehicles appear to be quite safe unless used carelessly. Bill Gaston of Kawasaki presented the Commission with information brochures on the Kawasaki "Jet-Ski." Ross Bremmer, 1502 Beach Avenue, said similar fears were experienced some years ago when surfing became popular. He felt after the initial reaction died Sown swimmers, surfers, and personal watercraft users should all be able to enjoy the beach. He said there were only a few beach accesses suitable for launching of watercraft and parking was a problem. Alan Hall, 1948 Brista de Mar Circle, encouraged the police department to cite reckless users of personal watercraft. He said he had been keeping a close watch on the situation for the past three weeks and had observed only one skier behaving recklessly and would hate to see the sport banned because of the irresponsibility of a very few people. Cheryl Seaton, 2250 Beachcomber Trail, agreed with Mr. Hall and suggested very stiff fines for violators. She said she did not want to have to give up her vehicle because someone else abused theirs. Edward Kneeland, Chateau Condominium, said he had observed both skiers and surfers operating their skis and surfboards, while at the same time, swimmers were swimming in the surf. He suggested identification of vehicles and enforcement of regulations would be made much easier if the police had a jet ski at their disposal and suggested Kawasaki consider providing a machine for their use. Ross Bremmer said the jet ski would also be an invaluable tool for rescue purposes. John Bailey, 1923 Beach Avenue, commented on the noise and Jimmy Hill, 659 Beach Avenue, said the modified skis are much louder and faster than the regular ski and are not appropriate for the beach. He felt to restrict the use of skis to certain areas would only PAGE SIX V V MINUTES NAME OF MAY 22, 1989 COMMRS. MSYN cause congestion and create hazardous conditions. However, he felt restricting launch to certain areas would be helpful. Commissioner Cook asked if current laws would provide sufficient regulations and Chief Thompson pointed out motorized vehicles are presently required to stay 200 feet off shore and operators could be arrested for violations similar to automobile drivers. Dezmond Waters suggested if the lifeguards are to be responsible for policing the jet skis, additional lifeguards and training should be considered. Commissioner Jensen said he felt access to the water would be restricted by the number of ramps available. The city may wish to establish specific launch areas. Mayor Gulliford said the idea of a designated launch area should be pursued further. He expressed interest in the possibility of acquiring a jet ski for the use of the police department. He felt the situation should be monitored for the next thirty days or so and discussed again with the Commission. At this time the mayor called a short recess. B. Further Discussion on evaluations of speeding on the north portions of Ocean Boulevard and Fast Coast Drive north of Tenth Street. Chief Thompson reported two accidents had occurred on the north end of East Coast Drive and two on the north end of Ocean Boulevard in recent years. Speed was not a factor in either accident. He said East Coast Drive had a higher volume of traffic and experienced more speeding. His recommendation was to install a stop sign at the intersection of Fifteenth Street and East Coast Drive. This should help to slow the traffic coming south off Seminole Road onto East Coast Drive. Cook x x Motion: Install stop sign in accordance with the Edwards x recommendation of the police department Jensen x x Tucker x No further discussion. The motion carried unanimously. Gulliford x 6. New Business: A. Discussion on the adoption and approval of Resolution 89-23 and 89-24 relative to the City's participation in the First Municipal Loan Council in the amount of $800,000 for construction of a new City Hall Mayor Gulliford presented Resolution No. 89-23: A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTION OF A SECONDARY AMENDMENT TO PARTICIPATION AGREEMENT EVIDENCING A LOAN FROM THE FIRST MUNICIPAL PAGE SEVEN V V MINUTES NAME OF MAY 22, 1989 COMMRS. MSYN LOAN COUNCIL IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $800,000; AND AUTHORIZING ALL NECESSARY OR DESIRABLE ACTION IN CONNECTION THEREWITH Cook x Edwards x x Notion: Approve passage of Resolution No. 89-23 Jensen x x Tucker x No discussion before the vote. The motion carried unanimously. Gulliford x Mayor Gulliford presented Resolution No. 89-24: A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTION OF AN AMENDMENT TO A PARTICIPATION AGREEMENT AND AUTHORIZING THEREBY A REDISTRIBUTION OF THE EARNINGS FUND; CONSENTING NG TO THE EXECUTION OF A THIRD SUPPLEMENTAL TRUST INDENTURE; AND AUTHORIZING ALL NECESSARY OR DESIRABLE ACTION IN CONNECTION THEREWITH Cook x Edwards x x Jensen x x Notion: Approve passage of Resolution No. 89-24 Tucker x Gulliford x No discussion before the vote. The motion carried unanimously. B. Public hearing on an appeal filed by Mark Kredell fnan a decision of the Cbmmunity Development Board denying him a variance for a substandard lot of record on the southwest corner of 18th Street and Beach Avenue Mayor Gulliford asked the City Attorney to report on his research and review of this subject. The City Attorney explained a sub- standard lot which did not have a width of 50 feet and a depth of 100 feet, with a total area of not less than 5,000 sq. ft. could not be built on unless relief was obtained through action of the Community Development Board. The Community Development Board had denied the request for variance. In accordance with the City Code, the Community Development Board had final jurisdiction in this matter and the Commission did not have the authority to override their decision. Commissioner Cook said he felt the City Commission should be the body for ultimate appeal on any matter and suggested this section of the code should possibly be amended. Commissioner Jensen said he hoped in the future people would be advised of this provision and not have to waste time pursuing such appeals. 7. Action on Ordinances: A. Ordinance No. 25-89-21 - First Reading AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE ORDINANCE CODE OF THE CITY OF =ANTIC BEACH, AMENDING CHAPTER 6, ADOPTING A MINIMLM HOUSING CODE, AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE Mayor Gulliford presented in full, in writing, Ordinance No. 25-89-21 on first reading. 4p1174 uoTsTAoad atjg og buTgpTaa asnpTo eq go uoT4eT9p a11g pagsanbaa ppu Tastmoo puoq aLlq PTps alt •sgupuanoo puoq atilt og burgpTa? saaggptu Aup ao sanuanaa pabpaTd sgT 04 goadsaa 1.14TM sgsaaagu- s,AgTo eq og asaanpp aq you pTnoM pup ATTo eq . 04 gsoo ou gp eq PInoM gz SP bUOI os aTgpgaNapwea spuoq am aNplu 04 aoupuTpao atlg x paogTTTnO AgTpolu og guauraaabp pup uoTgnTosag p pagdopp ppq Agzo aqg 'pasoTJ x aaxon,L SPM uoTgopsupag aogapH NPO aI4 UOLIM peUTPTdxa Aauaoggy ATTR ata x uasuar x x spX2M 686T 'ZT aunr buTaeaq oTTgnd Jog x x x000 gas Pue TV-68-08 '0N actueuTpao go abessed anozddd :uoTgcw 'Alva HATJ.'

MSYN nothing contained in the ordinance would require the city to increase its charges for utility service to areas outside the Oak Harbor district. It was his feeling the city should insist that clause remain in the ordinance. Another change which had been requested and which he was not ready to recommend, was the provision relating to the incremental cost as designed by the City Manager and Finance Director. Mayor Gulliford asked the City Manager to provide the Commission for their review copies of the sections of Ordinance No. 80-88-37 which are proposed to be amended. The question was called and the motion carried unanimously. 8. Miscellaneous Business: Mayor Gulliford asked Commissioner Jensen to address the question of rezoning of lots 41-60, North Atlantic Beach. Commissioner Jensen requested, in order to bring the zoning of the lots in question into conformity with the objective set forth in the comprehensive plan, that an ordinance be drafted for introduction at the next meeting to rezone those lots to RG1, excepting from the rezoning the lots owned by any property owners specifically opposed to the rezoning. The City Manager reported in response to a request by the mayor, projected revenues for the next fiscal year had been prepared for each commissioner for their review. The mayor also asked that a schedule of fees which comprise the revenues also be prepared. A workshop for the purpose of discussing revenues would be scheduled at a later time. Commissioner Edwards reported response to the request for petitions against the unfunded state mandates was extremely poor. He asked asked the Commission to encourage registered voters to sign the petitions. Commissioner Cook announced the next meeting of the Wonderwood committee would be at Mayport Junior High School on Thursday, May 25 at 4:30 PM. He said attendance at the meetings at the beach was extremely poor compared to the Arlington meetings and encouraged as many as possible to attend. Commissioner Jensen reported he and Mr. Mullis had met and reviewed some issues in connection with legal fees. They plan to continue working on this subject and report back to the Commission with a draft of a contract outlining duties and responsibilites to be covered under the retainer, and addressing litigation and other ?xpenses. • PAGE TEN V V MINUTES NAME OF MAY 22, 1989 COMMRS. M S Y N Mayor Gulliford said while he may change some procedures within the city, such as the introduction of the Consent Agenda, it was not his intention to make any change in established policy. The purpose of the Consent Agenda was to speed up routine matters, but in no way was it intended to take away any powers of review or discussion from the commissioners. He reminded them that any item may be withdrawn for discussion and individual action. There being no further business to come before the Commission, the mayor declared the meeting adjourned at 9:05 PM. ' illiam I.
