2. Recognition of Visitors
he Chair recognized Mr. Charles Drysdale, 1625 Beach who presented
letter signed by 13 volunteers of the Atlantic Beach Fire Dept. that
expressed their views on the recent discussions concerning the volun-
teers for the Fire Dept. Their letter is attached hereto and made a part
thereof. Mayor Howell thanked him for submitting the letter. Mr. Ed
Sanford, 1615 Seminole Beach Rd. complained the City was not treating
the Fire Dept. right. Mr.Sandy Forsyth, 1639 Sea Oats Drive, expressed
concern over rumors the Commission was considering the possibility of
eliminating the city's paid Fire Department. Mayor Howell thanked him
for his comments. He said he did not know where Mr. Forsyth heard the
rumors that the city was going to eliminate a paid fire department,but
nothing could be farther from the truth and apparently that was nothing
more than misinformation being spread around.
Ms. Margery Angelo, Director of Balance, Inc. , an Animal Environmental
Protection Organization, advised the Commission of a newly formed Ad-
visory Committee in Jacksonville to the Animal Control Facility. One o=
their goals was to have uniform animal control laws throughout the county.
She offered an Ordinance adopted by the City of Jacksonville and asked
the Commission to consider amending our Ordinance to comply with theirs.
One of the differences in the Ordinances was the beach residents had
to pay two tag fees, one city and one county. The City Manager will call
her at 249-2105 after researching the matter. He will report back to the
Commission at the next meeting. Mayor Howell commented the City of Jack-
sonville could amend their Ordinance so their licenses would not require
the residents of the three beaches and the Town of Baldwin to comply
rith their Ordinance. Mr. Mullis noted the problem was the second one
that had occurred since the City Council of Jacksonville now had their
own Legislative Counsel. Prior to that, the City of Jacksonville had
been exempting its application on USD 2, 3, 4 and 5.

7. Action on recommendation of the Pension Board of Trustees to increase
pension benefits for all employees from 2% of salary to 22% of salary
The City Manager reported at the Pension Board of Trustees meeting it
was his understanding the matter came up and was voted on by the Board
in December, 1984 before he joined the City. Apparently, because of a
lack of timeliness on preparation of an impact statement by the former
actuary, all of the necessary data did not come back for consideration
of the City Commission until just recently. The 1984 evaluations showed
it would cost the city about $40,000 per year more to fund the other 1/2%.
Because that data was almost two years out of balance, he recommended the
Commission consider having Gabriel, Roeder & Smith prepare another impact
study based on the current years evaluations. The report should be ready
it the next meeting. Mr. Fellows also asked the Commission for guidance
on whether or not they wished the increased benefits, if passed, to apply
to current retirees. That would have to be addressed by Ordinance. Cost
for the impact study would be $200.00 for each fund ($600.00 total) .

Motion: Authorize the firm of Gabriel, Roeder, Smith & Co. to Cook x x

8.Report by City Attorney on the status of the Pension Board of Trustees
as it relates to new legislation passed by the Legislature this year
Mr. Mullis reported the 1986 Legislature, Chapter 175 relating to the
Fire Pension fund, and Chapter 185 relating to the Police Pension Fund,
were substantially amended, particularly so far as the insurance premiu'ns
levied and collected for the funds. He suggested our actuary review those
amendments to the Statute. It was his opinion that one of the provisions
in the '86 amendment gave the Pension Trustees an autonomous authority.
The law was now being contested by several cities in Florida, with Orlaido
being the lead city. The law provides the Funds should be composed of two
.esidents of the city, one member of the police/and or fire department,
..ind another member to be selected by the four. Mr. Mullis also said an
officer of the city could not be serving in the capacity as ex officio
by virtue of the office they held. He expressed the opinion the two
City Commissioners and the City Manager who presently serve on the
Board should be replaced by December 31, 1986. Discussion followed on
the new amendments relative to the possibility of investment brokers
who were Atlantic Beach citizens serving on the Board; liabilities, etc.
Mayor Howell hopefully will have the two citizens names to submit to the
Commission at the meeting of December 8th.

Miscellaneous Business
Commissioner Edwards wished all a Happy Thanksgiving.
Commissioner Morris commended the volunteers for coming down to speak
their piece. He told them they were proud of the job the men and women
were doing, and during the first workshop meeting on the fire department,
he had found nothing lacking in our Fire Department as far as response
and performance. He told them "As you fellows wish not to be misquoted,
I would ask you to do the same for me. Never once in that meeting did I
hold out anything that was derogatory to the volunteer fire department.
So please, when you address these things, don't say The Commission.
There was no official action taken at that meeting. It was simply a
Workshop Meeting, and I feel like we will have another, at which time
I would like to invite you to attend that one."
