Recognition of visitors
Mrs. Linda Fain, 1276 Main St. told the Commission they were having
serious traffic problems of people speeding now that Main had been re-
surfaced. Cars were completely ignoring the 25 mi.per hr. speed limit.
Mrs. Fain also complained about the 15 to 20 visitors next door every
weekend until 3:00 - 4:00 a.m. . They had met with the Chief of Police
relative to placing "no parking" signs. Mayor Howell instructed the City
Manager to check on the possibility of an Ordinance violation relative
to "not more than two people unrelated living and cooking together as a
single housekeeping unit." Mr.Roger Fain said the Police Chief had agreed,
in November, to have more units patrol the area, but there had been no
results so far. Following discussion, the City Manager was instructed to
bring back a report on the problem at the next meeting.
At the request of Mr. Fellows, Chief Thompson introduced the new members
of the Police Department Staff: Susan Evans, Records Division, an
Atlantic Beach resident; Teresa Gnann, dispatcher, with 5 yr. experience;
George Grant, a Reserve Police Officer who works as a volunteer, and
Pearce Ewing, newest black officer with 2 1/2 years experience with The
Highway Patrol. Mr. Ewing is also a Minister and resident of our city.
Mayor Howell welcomed the new employees to our city and expressed con-
fidence they would serve the city well.

9. Resolution 88-1 - continued
Mayor Howell explained the city had applied for block grants in the past
and the city did not qualify, mainly because of the per capita economic
income of our city. If all the beach cities and Baldwin agreed to join
with Jacksonville, it would increase the population of the county and
therefore additional grant monies would come in. Based on the population,
Atlantic Beach would stand to gain approximately $125,000 per year;
Neptune Beach, approximately $60,000 per year; Jacksonville Beach,
approximately $150,000 per year, and Baldwin, approximately $25,000 per
year. The City of Jacksonville would administer the funds for a 10% fee.

Miscellaneous
Mayor Howell advised the Commission he had met several times with rep-
resentatives of Atlantic Utilities relative to the possibility of the
city purchasing the Oak Harbor distribution and collection systems.
The city would not consider purchasing the utility's sewage treatment
facility or its water plant.
The state Public Service Commission approved a rate increase for Atlantic
Utilities last month. Mayor Howell was told by several residents of Oak
Harbor they were paying, for a small family, approximately $80.00-$90.00
per month. For the average one family bill in Atlantic Beach, for water
and sewer only, not including garage, you pay approximately $60.00 per
quarter.
Mayor Howell expects to receive a quoted price from Atlantic Utilities in
the near future and will report back. The Mayor told them the city had
no interest if the systems could not fund themselves, and any buy-out
would be similar to the purchase of Buccaneer where the City of Atlantic
Beach would pay nothing out, but would issue Revenue Bonds, and pledge
only the revenue from that particular area.
' . Fellows reported he had received a communication that day from the
Engineers who were working with The DOT on the expansion of Atlantic
Blvd. The Department of Transportation are in the process of drawing
plans and specifications for widening of Atlantic Blvd. from St. Johns
Bluff Road to 3rd Street. They have asked the city to identify our
utilities, etc. There was no mention of the interchange at Mayport Rd.
He will report back as information is received.
The City Manager also informed the Commission of correspondence received
from Ward, Kutnik & Associates, Traffic Engineers, in Jacksonville that
they are re-designing the traffic signal at Seminole Road and Atlantic
Blvd, and will be much more comprehensive than it presently is.
Also presented by the City Manager was the completed planning study for
projected capacity requirements for the Buccaneer Water and Sewer Dis-
trict, which was part of the Waitz & Frye contract.
Commissioner Cook requested the City Manager ask the Traffic Engineers
while they were in the area,to check the light at Ocean Blvd and Atlantic
Blvd. for the possibility of reducing the wait time.
There being no other business to come before the Commission, the Mayor
declared the meeting adjourned at 8:14 p.m.
