08-28-89 v MINUTES OF THE BUDGET WORKSHOP MEETING OF THE ATLANTIC BEACH CITY
COMMISSION HELD AT CITY HALL ON MONDAY, AUGUST 28, 1989
The meeting was called to order by Mayor Gulliford. Present in addition
to the Mayor, were Commissioners Cook, Edwards, Jensen, and Tucker.
Also present were City Manager Leinbach, Finance Director Royal and City
Clerk King.
Budget discussions at this meeting included Account 524, Building;
Account 590, Equipment Maintenance; Account 533, Buccaneer Water
including Oak Harbor Water; Account 535, Buccaneer Sewer including Oak
Harbor Sewer; Atlantic Beach Sewer.
In discussion relative to deficits in the Oak Harbor Water and Sewer
System revenues, it was pointed out the annual charge of $250 per
household was for the purpose of paying for the system and would not be
enough to cover maintenance. Mayor Gulliford asked that revenues from
Oak Harbor system be tracked for a few years, and in the meantime it was
decided to make a loan from the Buccaneer System to Oak Harbor and
charge interest on same.
Don Ford said he had included $50,000 for sludge hauling containers. He
said this could be eliminated since after contact with the City of
Jacksonville relative to the anticipated closing date for the Girvin
Road Landfill, he felt the landfill would be open for at least another
year and the sludge hauling containers may not be needed during this
fiscal year. It was also felt the figure for sewer repair and
replacement could be substantially reduced if the proposed projects
could be accomplished in several phases.
A recap of action on the budget is attached hereto and made a part
hereof.
There being no further business to come before the City Commission, the
Mayor declared the meeting adjourned at 10:00 PM.

2. Recognition of Visitors:
Lois Weiss, 253 Seminole Road, presented a petition with 175
signatures opposing the new neon lighting which had recently been
installed at the Sea Turtle Inn. She said a permit had been issued
for a sign and in her opinion the light did not conform to the
requirements of the city code and requested the permit be revoked.
Jan Johnson of Jacksonville Beach, and Mort Hansen, 2028 Selva
Madera Court, both of whom are actively involved with the Greenpeace
organization, expressed objections to the light based on the
negative affect it would have on the sea turtle hatchlings. They
hoped the Sea Turtle would voluntarily discontinue the use of the
light, and if not, they requested revocation of the permit. Others
who expressed objection to the light were Penny Singleton Reilly,
159 Third Street; George Santiana, 239 Beach Avenue; Cliff Payne, 51
Beach Avenue; Dot Weiss, 99 Beach Avenue; and Ron Gray, 63 Beach
Avenue.

• Mayor Gulliford said he would personally contact Mr. Bristol of the
Sea Turtle in an effort to resolve the matter and directed the City
Manager to review the permit with the City Attorney. The subject
will be addressed further at the next meeting.
* * * * * * * * * * * * *
Rev. Kennerley of Roberts Mt. Pisgah A.M.E. Church said he had
previously offered the city the opportunity to purchase land
abutting Donner Park, off Church Road at a price of $10,000. He
said a second map indicated the property was larger than he had
initially thought and his church was now asking $14,000. He would
like the condition added that in the event the land ceases to be
used for a park, ownership would revert back to the church. He
pointed out church property is presently being used for parking for
the park. In the event another entity should purchase the land,
access to the park from Church Road would be cut off and there would
be no parking at the north end of the park.
Mayor Gulliford directed the City Manager to review the maps and
negotiate a price with the church, and bring recommendations to the
next commission meeting.

Winnie Harvey inquired about water which was bubbling out of the
ground on the City Hall grounds and was advised this was from the
air conditioning system and a sprinkler head was probably broken.
This would be looked into and corrected.

3. Appearances:
A. Susan Podzamsky to discuss Christmas celebration in Atlantic
Beach
Ms. Podzamsky presented a proposal for a Christmas program to be
presented on the City Hall grounds. She outlined several options
covering such activities as Christmas Tree lighting, carolling,
elves to do face painting, Santa Claus, etc. , along with their
related prices. She had also made plans for signs and posters to be
submitted by the Atlantic Beach Elementary School children.
Commissioner Cook said while he supported the idea, he had some
concern about whether the city could put on such a program without
risking complaints from those opposed to such a religious program.
It was generally felt this would be good for the city and would
include a large segment of the community. Further discussion ensued
and it was agreed monies would be transferred to an account for the
purpose of providing Christmas activities on the assumption
reimbursement would be made from fees raised by the Parks and
