MOTION CARRIED
Courtesy of the Floor 2. Courtesy of the Floor to Visitors.
Mayor Borno opened the Courtesy of the Floor to Visitors. He welcomed the audience
and explained the process for public comments.
Mayor Borno introduced Mr. Michael Mesiano, Duval County Commissioner for
Florida Inland Navigation District (FIND), who presented a grant check for the City to
Mayor Borno in the amount of $144,290 to be used for the Tideviews dock extension
proj ect.
Jeri Benjamin, 800 Seminole Road, speaking as ex- chairman of the General
Employees' Pension Board, addressed and clarified comments made at the workshop
today about actions taken by the Pension Board as related to the assumed rate of return
to be used in the City's Pension Plan Actuary Valuations. She stated comments were
made that the 8% assumed rate of return approved by the Pension Board of Trustees
was irresponsible and pie in the sky. She stated, as a volunteer Board member with
fiduciary liability exposure, she is not sure that language of this nature is really
appropriate in this litigious environment. She explained the assumed rate of return had
been a hot topic in the pension arena for the past couple of years, due to the decrease in
the investment returns in 2008 and 2009 although the upsurge in returns in 2010
quieted the discussions for a while. She explained the meeting to decide the rate was
open to the public and comments from the plan sponsor (City management and
Commission) would have been welcome. She stated the decision was not taken lightly
by the Board of Pension Trustees. She stated, at the Board's request, the first ever
Auiust 22. 2011 REGULAR COMMISSION MEETING Paze 2
assumption review was performed this past year. She stated they were given a range of
rates and did not go with what was recommended because they felt there was a push to
go with the flow and lower their rate. She stated they partnered with the investment
advisor and relied on his guidance. She stated he was confident that the 8% was an
achievable rate over the long term. She stated, although the decision to stay with 8%
was not unanimous, both Boards did vote on it with the caveat that the plan is to
annually revisit that assumed rate of return. She pointed out that they would have been
considered irresponsible if they had just cavalierly said let's take the rate down to 6 %,
which would have meant thousands of dollars in immediate City contribution increase
in the coming year. Mayor Borno thanked Ms. Benjamin and stated he did not believe
the comment made earlier at the workshop was an intention to slight any of the Board
Trustees or their dedication. He stated he appreciated the clarification.
Dick Hilliard, 338 11 St., addressed the Commission stating he was against the
variance for the parking in Town Center. He asked that they give no more variances.
Maria Mark, 1148 Linkside Drive, addressed the public safety issues in the Jordan
Park area, stating some of the residents in the area have told her they no longer feel
safe in their neighborhood because the drug dealers who were in jail are returning to
the neighborhood. She stated the residents also complained about Francis Avenue,
which is very narrow and traffic speeds up and down the road. She stated a resident
suggested making it a one -way road or putting in speed bumps. She stated the
residents have also complained about the noise. She further stated she would like to
see more pedestrian crosswalks at some of the busier intersections and suggested that a
study be done regarding this issue. She also discussed the five -way stop, stating it
needs help to make it safer and have a better flow of traffic.
Ms. Mark also addressed Agenda Item 8D, regarding the sign ordinance. She stated a
lot has happened in ten years and the economic climate might be cause for the City to
reconsider what this ordinance is actually requiring business owners to do. She
believes this is a subject to readdress and they could take it back to the business owners
and let them give their input on this as well.
R.D. De Carle, 51 Beach Avenue, stated he supported Item 8E. He stated there are
people parking on the grass next to his driveway because there is a sign that says do
not park on the pavement. He suggested the City change the sign to say no parking.
He stated we don't have enough parking in Atlantic Beach and this is beginning to
become a City crisis because we are never going to have less of a need for parking than
we have now. He recommended more research into mixed use, private /public
partnerships, to get an expansion of the central business district combined with parking
above. He stated we don't have enough parking spaces to park our own citizens who
are going to the beach on a nice sunny day. He offered his services to work on an ad
hoc committee to work with the Town Center Overlay District as a representative from
Atlantic Beach to try to find a solution that might eventually help our oncoming
parking crisis. He distributed an example of mixed use with shops below and parking
above. Mayor Borno stated Mr. De Carle's volunteering is graciously accepted. He
stated this is an issue that has been brought to the Commission before. He stated it is
being studied right now and in the future there will be recommendations coming to the
Commission for their consideration.
August 22, 2011 REGULAR COMMISSION MEETING Page 3
Mitch Reeves, 1663 Sea Oats Drive, thanked the Commission, City Manager,
Assistant City Manager, and all the professional staff at the Police Department for the
outstanding job they do. He stated he was proud to live in this City and to be able to
have the lowest tax rate, have our budgets reduced every year and not lose any
services. He also stated he noticed that the sandwiches came from the Firehouse and
would like next time that they come from Jimmy Johns, an Atlantic Beach business.
Mayor Borno stated Ms. Mark's comments about Francis Street have been noted and
this was brought to the Police Department's attention some time back. Commissioner
Parsons stated it was also noted in the past couple of weeks there is a problem at Main
Street and 6 th Street.
No one else from the audience spoke so Mayor Borno closed the Courtesy of the Floor
to Visitors.

MOTION CARRIED
Commissioner Woods noted the Building Department Activity Report continues to
show improvement and the water loss is going back down. Public Utility Director
Donna Kaluznialc explained this could be because they have just about finished the
meter replacement project and believes that might have had something to do with it,
but it does fluctuate from month to month, so next month it might be worse.
Mayor Borno commented on the completion of Well 2R and the rehabilitation of the
well at Plant #1 on the Project Status Report, complimenting Ms. Kaluzniak on her
involvement. Ms. Kaluzniak stated the rehabilitation was very successful. She stated
the specific capacity went from 11 gallons /minute to 78 gallons /minute per foot, which
means when they pump they don't have to pull so hard from so deep from the well
which saves power and gives more water. Mayor Borno stated her idea saved the City
a lot of money.
Motion: Approve Consent Agenda Item A, as read.

A. Regulation of Firearms.
City Attorney Alan Jensen explained the Florida Legislature has preempted all of the
control of firearms and ammunitions in the State and effective October 1 we have to
bring our ordinance into compliance. He stated, after reviewing this with Chief
Classey and City Manager Hanson, they have identified certain portions of the existing
ordinances which would be affected and have prepared a draft ordinance for review by
the Commission. He stated staff is looking for direction to proceed with the ordinance.
Chief Classey stated he was here to assure everyone this ordinance will not turn the
City into the Wild West. He stated there are a number of State laws that have been on
August 22, 2011 REGULAR COMMISSION MEETING Page 5
the books for quite some time that deal with both carrying weapons and discharging
firearms.
Mr. Hanson further explained the current City ordinance states you cannot discharge a
firearm, BB gun or pellet gun inside the City. He stated the change will be to take out
the discharge of firearms because the air operated guns like BB guns and pellet guns
are not similarly regulated by the State and the only way to keep them regulated is to
keep that portion of our ordinance in place.
Commissioner Woods suggested adding in the ordinance "all State laws pertaining to
any and all weapons of any kind will be duly enforced within Atlantic Beach including,
but not limited to . . ." Mayor Borno agreed and asked City Attorney Jensen if there
was some way to add that to the ordinance. Mr. Jensen stated, based on what he has
read, it would appear if we have anything in our ordinance enforcing discharge of
firearms is in violation of State statute. He stated the State statute that takes effect on
October 1 states they are totally preempting the regulation of firearms and ammunition.
Discussion ensued. Chief Classey stated from an enforcement standpoint it gives them
no greater options than what they already have available, and, in the new State law, not
only does it have fines for the people who pass those ordinances, it also has fines for
the people who enforce them. He stated he would not want to be in any jeopardy of
having any of his people receiving some sort of an adverse action due to enforcing the
already available State law that has since been duplicated in City ordinance. Mayor
Borno suggested working on what we have as a revised ordinance and ask the City
Manager and City Attorney to contact the agencies about the summary report and the
recommended way to put that out as public information.
Motion: Schedule the revised ordinance for first reading at the September 12,
2011 Commission Meeting.
Moved by Parsons, Seconded by Fletcher.

MOTION CARRIED
B. Revisions to Chapter 8 Flood Hazard Areas.
Building Official Mike Griffin explained the changes to the ordinance are to make it
consistent with the State Flood Plain Regulations. He stated we participate in the
National Flood Insurance Program and the Community Rating Systems Program which
gives us a 15% discount on our flood insurance rates. He stated the Community
Development Board heard the ordinance on August 16 and recommended approval and
he will be bringing it back to the next meeting for First Reading.
Motion: Approve and direct staff to bring ordinance back at next City
Commission meeting for First Reading.
Moved by Woods, Seconded by Fletcher.
August 22, 2011 REGULAR COMMISSION MEETING Page 6
Mayor Bomo requested, when they go to the ordinance and have the Public Hearings,
that staff compare the current zones with what we had before the change, showing what
the cost of a FEMA policy was then with what it would be now.

MOTION CARRIED
C. Police Department Semi - annual Report.
Chief Mike Classey reported that the Police Department won second place in the Law
Enforcement DUI Challenge, third place in both the Click It or Ticket and the overall
Law Enforcement Challenge, which are competitions between law enforcement
agencies throughout the State of similar size and types. He stated the rewards the
Department and City receives, which are almost the equivalent to a dollar /reward, have
to be used specifically for traffic safety equipment. He further summarized the semi-
annual report, pointing out the emergency response time is 2 minutes, 27 seconds.
D. Sign Amortization.
Building Official Mike Griffin gave background of the Sign Code Ordinance, stating as
part of the revision to the ordinance in 2002, the existing signs that were not in
compliance were grandfathered in and given ten years to be in compliance. He further
summarized the staff report showing slides of the sign at 675 Atlantic Blvd which Mr.
Ofer Kooba brought before the Commission. Mr. Griffin answered questions from the
Commission. Discussion ensued.
Mr. Hanson stated the staff report is a little misleading when it states three signs have
come into compliance since 2009. He stated there were a lot more that came into
compliance before then and there is a concern that a lot of people spent a lot of money
upgrading these signs to meet the ordinance and if they do away with the ordinance he
believes the City would be in a precarious legal position, having forced people to spend
money and then doing away with the regulation. He stated they can extend the
amortization without incurring that problem.
Commissioner Fletcher asked that a list of those businesses that had non - conforming
signs that voluntarily came into compliance, without a triggering event such as
reconstruction, be provided. Mr. Hanson pointed out that they may not have been
voluntary; for instance a number of gas stations changed dealers and when they put up
a new sign they had to come into compliance. Commissioner Woods stated she would
also like to include in that report how many of the businesses that have not come into
compliance have situations like Mr. Kooba's, where there is no easy fix. Mr. Griffin
stated there are approximately 57 signs that need to come into compliance. Discussion
ensued.
Motion: Extend Grandfatherina provision to January 1, 2015 in the proposed
ordinance.
Moved by Fletcher, seconded by Parsons
August 22, 2011 REGULAR COMMISSION MEETING Page 7
Commissioner Woods requested a letter be sent to all businesses who have not
complied, asking if there are any circumstances stopping them from coming into
compliance, so when they start looking at the ordinance they will know what the real
problems are.
Commissioner Daugherty clarified they were just asking staff to bring back an
ordinance so they can reconsider this.
Votes:
Aye: 5 — Borno, Daugherty, Fletcher, Parsons, Woods
Nay: 0
MOTION CARRIED
Commissioner Woods further explained the letter she was requesting should not go out
until they decide whether they are going to give an extension and how long it will be.
She stated then the City should send a letter out to anyone not in compliance, telling
them the date has changed and asking them to let us know why they have not come into
compliance, explaining we are going to be reviewing the ordinance and want to know
what the real issues are. It was the consensus of the Commission to do this.
Commissioner Daugherty asked what the catalyst was that caused the sign changes.
Mr. Hanson explained that was the start of the discussion about improving the Mayport
Corridor. He stated that was also around the time they were discussing the median
project with Jacksonville. Commissioner Daugherty stated he does not understand
what changing the signs has to do with improving the Mayport Corridor, especially
when half of the corridor is Jacksonville. Mr. Hanson stated when you don't have a lot
of really tall signs in a big line it makes it look better and not as cluttered. Answering a
question from Commissioner Woods, Mr. Hanson further stated, at Atlantic Beach's
request, Jacksonville looked into and adopted a lot of the same zoning regulations and
came back a couple of years later with their own overlay, which is not totally equal to
the City of Atlantic Beach's, but it is close. Discussion ensued.
E. South Coast Capital Proposal for Parking in Town Center.
Public Works Director Rick Carper summarized the staff report, showing a slide of the
parking lot submitted by South Coast Capital to go from 21 to 27 spaces. He explained
they were required to provide additional spaces due to the change from Bookmark, a
retail location, to a 75 -seat restaurant. He stated his concern is a safety concern. He
stated current City Code does not allow commercial parking to back into an existing
street. He explained the change in the parking lot would require that these spaces
would always have to back into traffic, rather than being able to pull forward as the
cars can presently. Mr. Hanson stated this is not a question of a variance; it is a
question of meeting the provision in the City Code that says you cannot back out into a
public street. He stated if it were a new plan the answer would be that it violates City
Code, but because these were striped this way before, the issue is would this be
considered grandfathered; or since the parking lot is being changed, should it come
under the current code. Discussion ensued.
August 22, 2011 REGULAR COMMISSION MEETING Page 8
Lindley Tolbert of Southcoast Capital, stated those six spaces are already there; they
are not asking to change them, they want to leave them as they are. She stated people
already back out onto East Coast Drive. She stated just because they become
grandfathered in doesn't suddenly mean there are going to be traffic accidents; those
six spaces have been striped that way for 27 years. She stated they own almost all the
parking down there. She stated they provide parking while everyone else is getting
variances and they don't ask for variances. She stated they are trying to be a partner
and solve the problem by creating six more parking spaces and ten motorcycle spaces.
She stated if it was really just about their tenant going in, they would have only created
three more parking spaces. She stated after speaking with three engineers, they feel
this is the highest and best use of the space. She stated they are not asking for
something to be changed or suddenly exposing themselves to liability. She reiterated
you have to back out of those spaces all the time.
Commissioner Woods stated she agreed with Ms. Tolbert. She stated what she doesn't
agree with is the grandfathering. Mr. Carper stated that "grandfathering" was his word
but what he is really asking for is direction from the Commission not to treat this as a
new parking lot.
Motion: Direct staff to not treat the parking lot in question as a new parking lot.
Moved by Fletcher, seconded by Daugherty
Mayor Borno clarified this motion would mean accepting the proposed parking plan in
the agenda with the angled parking, as was originally striped with the changes.
Commissioner Woods asked, if it is not a new parking lot, does it even need an
approval. Mr. Carper stated it still needs to be approved. Mr. Jensen stated they are
telling them the requirements of the Code do not apply to this parking lot.

A. City Manager's Report.
Mr. Hanson reported on the JTA bus stop issue on Royal Palms Drive, stating JTA has
created some changes to the bus routing whereas all the stops will be on the west side
of Royal Palms Drive, eliminating the pedestrian crossing and visibility issues. He
stated JTA is still working with various owners of private property to get a transfer
station. Mr. Carper stated this plan was put in effect last Monday.
Mr. Hanson reminded everyone the Budget Workshops will be this Wednesday,
August 24, to discuss Public Works, and August 31, to discuss Public Safety and
Personnel, and, if needed, September 6.
He stated we have an emergency issue related to the rehab of the water tank at Plant 4.
He stated they discovered the top of the tank needs to be replaced rather than repainted.
Ms. Kaluzniak explained after the tank was sandblasted it was found that the metal in
August 22, 2011 REGULAR COMMISSION MEETING Page 9
the top was so thin that it wasn't able to be repaired and it needs to be replaced. She
showed a slide from the inside of the tank. She stated our contractor obtained quotes
from two different subcontractors and the lowest quote was $26,500 plus the
contractor's additional bond cost, coordination and supervision of the crew and
additional sandblast and painting of the new roof, for a total change order of $38,625.
Motion: Approve the emergency expenditure as recommended by staff.
Moved by Woods, Seconded by Fletcher
Ms. Kaluzniak explained the bids for the I I th Street Water Main project were $50,000
under budget so she has enough money to cover this change order.

Inc.
Construction,
Inc.
Total Base Bid
$55,712.00

BUDGET: A total of $104,979 was budgeted in the Water Fund for this project in account number
400 - 5504 - 533- 63 -00.
RECOMMENDATION: Award a contract in the amount of $55,712 to Gruhn May, Inc. to
construct the 11 Street Water Main Replacement and authorize the City Manager to sign the

AGENDA ITEM # 4F
SEPTEMBER 12, 2011
STAFF REPORT
City of Atlantic Beach
Commission Meeting
AGENDA ITEM: Vehicle Purchase: Chevrolet Volt
DATE: August 30, 2011
SUBMITTED BY: David Thompson, Asst. City Manager
BACKGROUND:
As part of the grant agreement with the State of Florida for the use of federal ARRA
Energy Grant funding, one (1) current model fully electric vehicle was identified for
purchase. Based on the `Buy American" requirements of the grant, the Chevrolet Volt
was the best choice for the City of Atlantic Beach to purchase.
The police department is going to take a detective vehicle out of service and replace it
with a standard vehicle. The grant will pay for the difference between the cost of the
replacement vehicle, and the cost of the Volt. In this particular case, the police
department would normally have purchased a Ford Focus to replace the existing vehicle,
at a price of $13,113 on the state contract.
The City sent out bid advertisements to six (6) Chevrolet dealerships in our region of the
state. Only one (1) bid was received, and it was for $38,816.39. If we purchase the
Chevrolet Volt for $38,816.39, then the difference in price between the Focus and the
Volt is $25,683.39 which is to be funded under the energy grant program.
BUDGET: The Police Department has the $13,113 in their budget to purchase a vehicle
to replace the detective vehicle. The City will purchase the Chevrolet Volt, and the
difference in price between the Ford Focus and the Chevy Volt will be reimbursed
through the energy grant. The Police Department will also be installing a charging
station at their facility.
RECOMMENDATIONS: To approve the purchase of the Chevrolet Volt from
Nimnicht Chevrolet for the price of $38,816.39.

I. Purpose
The purpose of this Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) is to provide a mutual
understanding in support of the signatory agencies, organizations, governments, and
individuals that will be working in cooperation to: 1) prepare a successful HUD Sustainable
Communities Regional Planning grant application; and 2) complete the work funded under
the grant.
II. Background
On July 28, 2011, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) released
a Notice of Funding Announcement for the Sustainable Communities Regional Planning
grant program. HUD has partnered with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
and the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) to help improve access to affordable
housing, more transportation options, and lower transportation costs while protecting the
environment in communities nationwide. A set of guiding livability principles and a federal
interagency partnership agreement is intended to guide their efforts in coordinating federal
housing, transportation, and other infrastructure investments designed to protect the
environment, promote equitable development, and help to address the challenges of climate
change.
Three federal agencies have made a commitment to utilize the integrated regional plans or
visions to guide their planning and funding decision - making. Funding to these metropolitan
regions would generally be directed towards programs and projects identified in "Regional
Plans for Sustainability" aimed at increasing transportation choices, reducing combined
housing and transportation costs for American families, improving the quality of life in
communities, and improving the natural and built environment.

— to increase community revitalization, improve the efficiency of public works
investments, and safeguard rural landscapes.
5. Coordinate policies and leverage investment. Align policies and funding to
remove barriers to collaboration, leverage funding, and increase the accountability
and effectiveness of all levels of government to plan for future growth, including

AGENDA ITEM # 8A
SEPTEMBER 12, 2011
7. Enhance community resiliency to the impacts of Climate Change. Enhance
community resiliency to the impacts of climate change through the development of
mitigation and adaptation strategies.
Whereas, any regional plan document developed under the grant will support these Livability
Principles and should, to the greatest extent possible and where appropriate, be built upon the
foundation of work that has been accomplished and undertaken in the region where existing
plans, partnerships, and processes enhance regional planning, coordination and efficiency,
reduce unnecessary duplication of effort and responsibilities, and add clarity and
accountability to implementation processes.

related to the preparation of a successful grant application and successfully completing the
work funded under the grant.

or arrangements with other entities or agencies.

STAFF REPORT
City of Atlantic Beach
Commission Meeting
AGENDA ITEM: Award of Contract on Donner Sewer Rehabilitation Project
DATE: September 2, 2011,,,
SUBMITTED BY: David E. Thompson, A City Manager
BACKGROUND:
The City's Sewer Master Plan Update recommended that the City use cured -in -place pipe
technology to upgrade the old, cracked clay sewer mains, and use lining to rehabilitate
deteriorated manholes. Fortunately, staff was able to obtain a Community Development
Block Grant to upgrade the sewer system in the Donner Subdivision. This is a Disaster
Recovery Grant associated with Tropical Storm Fay. By improving the sewer system, the
City will reduce the possibility of overflowing manholes and excessive flows caused by
infiltration during heavy storms.
Specifications were completed, reviewed and approved by the Florida Department of
Community Affairs. Bids were advertised, five contractors were prequalified and four
attended the Pre -Bid Meeting.
Five contractors submitted bids as follows:
American
Insituform
Lanzo Lining
Miller
Reynolds
Infrastructure
Technologies,
Services, Inc.
Pipeline Corp.
Inliner
Technologies
Inc.
Corp.
$157,410.00
$140,294.00
$188,320.00
$175,590.25
$198,275.00
On June 13, 2011, the City Commission awarded the contract to Insituform
Technologies, Inc., contingent on approval by the City of Jacksonville, as they are the
grant administrators.
The City of Jacksonville would not approve awarding the bid to Insituform, and on July
11, 2011, the City Commission rejected all bids and authorized staff to rebid the project.
Jacksonville had contacted the bidders to see if any were willing to comply with Section
3 hiring requirements. Insituform and American Infrastructure Technologies would not
agree to hire people under the Section 3 requirements. Miller was the lowest bid that
agreed to abide by the Section 3 requirements.
Staff rebid the project, and the City only received one (1) bid, and it was for $188,000
which was $10,000 over budget. This went back to Jacksonville for their evaluation.
AGENDA ITEM # 8B
SEPTEMBER 12, 2011
Jacksonville said that they would approve the award of the bid to Miller Pipeline
Corporation for $175,590.25 if Miller Pipeline would stand by their original bid and
Atlantic Beach was willing to approve it. Utilities Director Donna Kaluzniak contacted
Miller Pipeline Corporation, and they said that they would honor the original bid and
comply with the direction provided by the City of Jacksonville relative to Section 3
requirements.
BUDGET: The award of the bid will utilize $175,590.25 of CDBG Disaster Grant
funding to address the Donner Subdivision Sewer Rehabilitation project. This does not
require any matching funding on the part of the City of Atlantic Beach.
RECOMMENDATIONS: To waive purchasing requirements, and award the contract
for the Donner Sewer Rehabilitation project to Miller Pipeline, Corporation in the amount
of $175,590.25.

STAFF REPORT
AGENDA ITEM: Change Order No.l for Bid 1011 -16
Contract Time Extension
SUBMITTED BY: Donna Kaluzniak, CEP, Utility Director
DATE: September 2, 2011
BACKGROUND: The contract awarded to WPC Industrial Contractors, LLC for completing
the Sludge and Odor Control project at WWTP #1 included a 270 -day timeframe to substantially
complete the project. Based upon the contractor's discussions with the major sludge treatment
equipment manufacturers, the equipment delivery schedule will delay the project completion by
approximately 2 months.
In the current economy, many equipment suppliers are not keeping parts and equipment in stock,
but awaiting confirmed orders before they begin to manufacture items. Staff has experienced
similar delays in other projects and in replacing plant and lift station equipment recently.
The contractor is not requesting additional funds, only time.
The time extension will affect the construction engineering and inspection (CE &I) contract with
our engineer, J. Collins Engineering Associates, LLC (JCEA). JCEA has agreed to waive the
engineers' additional time for construction administration, but is requesting additional funds to
cover the cost of the onsite inspector's time. JCEA also reduced by half the profit and overhead
that was included in their contract, making the total additional costs $21,015.60 for the two
months of additional inspection.
BUDGET: Funds are available for the additional engineering costs under account number 410-
5508- 535 -63 -00 due to the TMDL projects coming in under budget.
RECOMMENDATION: Authorize the City Manager to execute Change Order No. 1 for WPC
Industrial Contractors, LLC for additional time at no added costs. Approve additional funds for J.
Collins Engineering Associates, LLC for extended inspection services in the amount of
$21,015.60.
ATTACHMENTS: 1. Change Order No. 1
2. Fee Proposal from JCEA for Extended Construction
Administration and Inspection Services.

AGENDA ITEM: Change Order No.3 for Bid 1011 -01
Sludge Air Flow Control Valve /Air Flow Meter and Aeration Tank Wall
Valves
SUBMI'T'TED BY: Donna Kaluzniak, CEP, Utility Director
DATE: September 6, 2011
BACKGROUND: As part of the TMDL WWTP #1 improvements, the nine existing large
blowers will be replaced with 4 new blowers that are much more energy efficient. In this TMDL
Project, the manufacturer (Siemens) is providing all equipment associated with delivering
aeration to the modified aeration basins. They are the supplier of the new high efficiency
blowers, Master Control Panel, air valves and air meters as well as the complete control system.
Siemens has the "sole source responsibility" to provide the equipment as well as the control of
this critical equipment.
Under the TMDL scope of work, the manufacturer already had included in their fee, the cost of
programming of the new air blowers for the new sludge improvements. Since the Sludge & Odor
Control Project was not designed at the time of bid and would be bid to General Contractors, the
best solution to ensure "sole source responsibility" was to complete the sludge design to
determine required equipment and purchase the required air flow meters and valves under WPC's
original TMDL contract as a change order.
The cost of the valve with controls is $13,039.85.
In addition, staff requested the contractor to provide a cost for additional valves between the
baffle walls in the aeration tanks, which will allow for less costly maintenance of the tank in the
future by reducing the need for pump and crane rental when the tanks need dewatering. The Cost
of the additional valves is $13,392.79.
There is a delay for some of the critical equipment (mixers) for the TMDL WWTP #1 project
that will affect the overall completion schedule. (More information on equipment delays is
discussed in the staff report for Change Order No. 1 for the Sludge and Odor Control Project).
The contractor has requested an additional 60 days for completion. This is a time -only change
order — no cost increase.
BUDGET: Funds for the Change Order No. 3 are already encumbered as part of WPC's
contract, which included a contingency of $238,140.

City of Atlantic Beach
Commission Meeting
AGENDA ITEM: Florida Division of Emergency Management Grant
DATE: September 2, 2011
SUBMITTED BY: Michael D. ClasseyChief of Police
BACKGROUND:
The Florida Division of Emergency Management has been awarded Federal Funds for the
purpose of upgrading public safety radio systems throughout the State of Florida. These
funds are being dispersed by region and Duval County is in Region III of the state system.
Alachua County Sheriff's Office is the sub grantee recipient of these grant funds for
Region III.
The City of Atlantic Beach Police Department (ABPD) radios operate off the City of
Jacksonville's (COJ) 800 MHz radio system. The COJ radio system is undergoing software
and hardware upgrades referred to as Project 25 (P25). In order for ABPD radios to
continue to operate, these radios must undergo the same system upgrades. The cost of
these upgrades for COJ is approximately 2 million dollars and a portion of those costs are
being passed along to end users of the system such as ABPD.
The Atlantic Beach Police Department asked for consideration to be given in the allocation
of the Region 3 grant funds as the expense of the upgrade would have created severe
budget challenges if General Fund monies were required. The Alachua County Sheriff's
Office, in their grant application, requested $75,555 to cover all expenses for the ABPD
radio system upgrades and their grant application was approved as written.
These expenses will be paid by Alachua County directly to COJ so no funds will
physically pass through COAB. Any remaining funds above the cost of the ABPD radio
upgrades will be directed to COJ. The next step in this process is for the Atlantic Beach
Police Department to sign the Memo of Understanding with the Alachua County Sheriff's
Office.
BUDGET: None
RECOMMENDATIONS: To authorize the City Manager and Chief of Police to sign
the Memo of Understanding with the Alachua County Sheriff's Office.
ATTACHMENTS: Memo of Understanding with the Alachua County Sheriff's Office.

MEMORANDUM
TO: The Honorable Mayor
and Members of the Commission
FROM: Jim Hans g
...m��
SUBJECT: City Man er's Report
Emer2ency Repair of Sewer Main between Willow Cove Court and Mimosa Cove Court Emergency
purchase orders to Gruhn May Inc. (the City's annual contractor) were approved on August 22 and 23,
2011 due to a collapsed sewer main running in an easement between Willow Cove Court and Mimosa
Cove Court. This is an old cast iron main that failed in the same way as the cast iron main on Selva
Marina Drive recently. The top of the entire 160 foot length of pipe deteriorated and caved in. Failure of
the pipe at this location creates sewer backups in the entire upstream area, including Admirals Walk and a
part of the Cypress Cove Subdivision.
This sewer main is very deep and runs in an easement between homes. A total of $10,000 was approved
on August 22 for bypass pumping. Upon determining that the entire main was collapsed, an additional
$70,053.00 was approved to replace the sewer main itself. This is being reported to the City Commission
because it exceeds the limit for City Manager approval of normal purchases.
State SRF Funding for Remaining Portions of Wastewater Project The City has received notice from
the State Department of Environmental Protection, Division of Water Facilities Funding, that the previous
agreement for SRF funding for the wastewater plant improvements will be amended to include an
additional $2,440,816 related to the sludge and odor control upgrades s at the wastewater plant. This
means that the interest rate for borrowing these funds will be considerably lower than under conventional
bank financing. As reported in the recent budget workshops, the lower interest rates for other portions of
the wastewater project, along with the bids coming in considerably under budget, will result in future debt
payments well under previous estimates. Ultimately, this translates into lower rates for water and sewer
service to Atlantic Beach customers.
