TO: Aim D. Leinbach, City Manager
FROM: Don C. Ford, Building Official
RE: Richardson House at 110 Seminole Road
I have performed as inspection of the Richardson house at 110
Seminole Road sad found the following:
1. Roofing - The original structure is asphalt shingles. The
shingles have exceeded their life and are swelled and cracked.
There are numerous places in the roof that have leaked and caused
the ceilings to fall ia;
2. Exterior Malls - Asbestos shingle siding has many cracks
causing water to flow into the walls. The stud in the walla around
all of the windows sad door; have rotted;
3. Plumbing - Plumbing Las been replaced and repaired is many
areas. Piping consists of galvanized steel, poly-vinyl chloride
plastic; sad poly-butylene plastic;
4. Heating, Yeatilatioa and Air-Conditioning - Ducts have
been wet from leaking roof. All equipment has been wet sad damaged
beyond repair;
HYAC - The condenser/air-handler is a very old commercial type and
will be difficult to repair.
5. Electric - Has numerous places where the wiring Las been
tampered with. There are wire nut connectioan oa wiring in the
rear porch areas that are exposed to the weather. I could not
inspect the service panel to evaluate the eatite structure.
overall, the structure appears to be is very poor condition.
The maintenance has been marginal and a complete overhaul of the
entire building would be required to make it safe sad to meet
existing building codes.
Remodeling costs start at 550.00 per square foot and up. This
structure would probably start at 570.00 per square foot to make
the structure safe for public use.

Our team checked with other facility providers (i.e., multi-purpose
use, including teen programs) and reviewed the site, structure as
yell as existing playground eauipmen[, k'e feal a policy decision
should be made by the City Commission as [o the use of the property.
If ve assume primary use~by younger adults, St ie fe1C the property
would not be readily suitable Sn its current eonf Sguration. The
structure is not sound enough for immediate use and our Building 0 ~
Official estimates a Lost of S44G~rG90'to bring it up to etandard.~~
In feet, it could be more logical end economical to build an
entirely new building. Traffie/parking ie also a problem a[ the
site. The ex is[ing playground equipment vas not deemed adequate by
our Parke Division Chief. Current zoning does alloy park type use,
however.
Should the City Commission wish to preserve the property for future
use (as ve all knov, properly is increasingly difficult to
reasonably obtain), perhaps with plane to acquire other ad]acen[
properties, the Richardson land could serve Chis purpose moat
adequately.
eECOMMEBDATI09: To summarize, unless preserved for future use,
staff cannot adequately ane lq ze the property at I30 Seminole koad
without knowing its general intended use. Me have pointed out
suggested criteria for this process as veil as specific
cha rac[eristics to the site regardless of use. The City Commission
shoo ld also reigh [he opportunity for land acquisition versus the
availability of desirable real estate within Atlantic Beach.

i
SDBNITTED BY: Kim D. Le inbach, City Manager ~ .~~^, ¢..
BAC[GRODBD: At the last City of Atlantic Beach City Comm iasfon
meeting, Commissioner Dezmond Waters discussed and proposed
purchasing the Richardson property consisting of five lots and one
single family duelling unit located at 110 Seminole Road. The
matter vas deferred to the next regular City Commission meeting for
report and analysis by staff.
(~
Ae directed, 1 assembled a staff team consisting of Planning and
Zoning Director George Worley, Recreation Director Timmy Johnson and
Parke DiVielon Director Allen Sorder to rork with me on the report.
Building Official Don Pord evaluated the single family duelling uric
at my request.
Essentially, ve reviewed the property for use, need, location and
various characteristics u¢ique to the property. We suggest the
following process as a means towards deriding purchase/utilization
of Chia property (or any ocher for that matter):
1. Need (i.e. programs, 1¢f ras[rueture, etc. vis-a-v is [he
delivery of services at t61s location and hov the same fits in with
our overall parks and recreation facilities and uses).
2. Location (based upon above, who will use it, hov much
traffic will be generated, will Cheze be aubatantial walk-up
traffic).
3. Security (should the property be used by younger children
and if so, hov can ve protect [hem fro^ vehicular and walk-up
traffic, will the use affect neighbors adversely, fs [he structure
safe).
4. Staffing (depending upon use, upwards of two staff members,
one male and one female, could be used at the site, what hours of
operation).
5. Maintenance (what are [he annual, recurring expenses [o
operate the facility).
6. Structure (what Ss [he condition of the house, Se there
adequate parking, are there additional expenditures to make
lmprcvements).
7. Miscellaneous (can vo lun[eern be used, is it vise to nix
uses of facilities, e.g. teens versus seniors).

The IBM AS400 at City Hall is hailed as an excellent machine for
multiple functions, and it has outstanding potential. However,
the Police Department has one computer which accesses the AS400.
The Chief of Police, who oversees the budget and has to approve
all purchases, does not have a computer to access the system.
The Captain, who handles collective bargaining negotiations, does
not have a computer to access the system. This lack of access to
information creates constant problems.
Last year, we had a consultant look at our long term inf ormatioa
management needs, and they suggested networking the computers.
They provided basic information including specifications for
hardware znd approximate costs. We applied for a grant to help
fund the networking, and it was approved. The grant will pap for
756 of the costs of the system. This was included in the budget
for 1994-95.
Since then, Chief Ruley has joined the City as Fire Chief, and he
has expertise and experience in networking. He has reviewed the
needs of our departments, and be has put together the plans for
adding equipment and networking the departments. His basic plan
is consistent with the previous consultant recommendations and
grant request. Since the original prices were estimated more
than a year ago, the prices have fallen significantly.
Chief Ruley set the specifications for the components of the
system including a file server, PC workstations, wiring, and
software, and be solicited proposals from multiple sources. Our
city purchasing guidelines do not require sealed bids on the
purchase of this equipment. After reviewing the proposals, we
are confident that we have the best responsible prices on the
market.
At this point, we are ready to purchase one (1) file server, four
(4) PC workstations, software and installation services, and
wiring for the system. The prices are included in the attached
summary of proposals, and the totals are well under budget for
the grant.
RECOMMENDATIONS: WE RECOMMEND THAT THE CITY AOTHORIZE THE
PURCHASE OP THE PILE SERVER, WORRSTATIONS, WIRING, AND SOFTWARE
FOR THE COMPUTER NETWORRING IN PUBLIC SAFETY.

CITY C0141ISSION MEETING
STAFF REPORT
AGENDA ITEM: Public Saf etp Computer Network
SUBMITTED BY: David E. Thompson, Chief of Police
John Ruley, Fire Chief
DATE: March 6, 1995
BACKGROUND: The existing computerization in the Police
Department is fragmented and uniategrated. The various systems
need to be coordinated and networked to assure accuracy and
efficiency throughout the Department. Although Police and Fire
Departments share Administrative and Records staff, the computer
systems in the two departments are stand-alone systems and unable
to ^talk^ to one another. Police and Fire Department members
need to be able to access information from each other without
having to physically walk outside to the other side of the
building.
The original computerization in the Police Department took place
in 1986 with the introduction of a ^new" 286 microcomputer to the
Records Division. This stand-alone system was based on a data
base management system to track all reports, arrests, training
information, parking tickets, etc.
Since that time, other computers have been added around the
Department. Officers have laptop computers to write reports and
correspondence, and microcomputers are in the Records Division,
Communications Division, and Squad Room. Some department members
(Captain Campbell and Lt. Smith) have brought their ovn computers
to work. A major problem surfaces when one realizes that none of
the computers are networked with the others. Each computer is a
stand alone system.
No cne has access to arrest, traffic ticket, or incident
intormati on outside of the Records Division. When Records is
closed for business, the information stored in their computers is
not available to anyone. This also applies to other information
in the department. Each computer is set up with its own software
and data base system, and there is no sharing of information
between them.
IN WITNESS THEREOF, the parties have caused this Agreement to
be signed in their respective names by their respective
rep esentatives and have executed this Agreement this a~~ day

CITY OF ATLANTIC BEACH
CITY COMMISSIDN MEETING
STAFF REPORT
AGENDA ITEM: Public Housing Cooperation Agreement
SUBMITTED BY: George Worley, Community Development Director ~~
DATE: March 3, 1995
BACKGROUND:
The City of Jacksonville has had cooperation agreements
rith the other smaller municipalities within Duval county since
prior to consolidation. The City o{ Atlantic Beach has,
apparently, never had such an agreement.
The proposed agreement submitted to us by Jacksonville
requires that Jacksonville attempt to develop a tmenty 1201 unit
•Project• of public housing rithin the corporate limf to of
Atlantic Beach. Atlantic Beach, for its part, agrees to provide
appropriate utility services and to rezone property mhere
'reasonable and necessary for the development and protection of
such Project and the surrounding territory'. If the property
.hereon the •Project• mill be built, is removed from the tax
rolls of Atlantic Beach, the City of Jacksonville mill reimburse
Atlantic Beach a variable amount dependent upon the size of the
project.
RECOMMENDATION:
This agreement does not effect any existing public housing
units in Atlantic Beach. This agreement, also, seems to
strongly imply that any subsequent public housing units ^ill be
clustered together as a •Project•. Staff has a concern that,
given the very limited availability of vacant ^ultifsmily zoned
property in Atlantic Beach, Jacksonville mill desire to site the
•project' in a single-family or duplex zoning district. The
agreement calls for Atlantic Beach to amend its zoning mhere
•reasona Dle and necessary' but fails to specify mho determines
rhai is 'reasonable and necessary'.
Staff has one other concern ^ith the use of the terminology
•Project•. The traditional multifamily housing projects created
a isolated pocket of for income housing. These pockets created
barriers, physical, social, antl economic, around themselves, and
very effectively kept people in as 'ell as out.
Staff recommends that the language of this agreement be
amended to tmeniy (201 living units mithout using the ter^
'Project' and that the proposed units be sited in full
compliance math the zoning code of Atlantic Beach. Vith your
concurrence re will submit these changes to the City of ~ `¢'

that :merge are typically immediate fixes rather than longterm solutions.
F ressi~~g needs have been met with a baudaid approach instead of Duildiuq toward

departments th.<t should be adds essed i^ a timely manner. Zf there was a guiding

STAFF REPORT
AGENDA ITEM: Communications Consultant
SUBMITTED BY: David E. Thompson, Chief of Police
DATE: February 17, 1995
BACKGROUND:
During the budget workshops in 1994, a consistent theme emerged relative to
adding or expanding communications capabilities. Various departments around thr
city included radios and communications equipment in their budgets. AL the same
time, there were a variety of possibilities relative to the direction the City
could take in communications.
thatswouldlultimatelydcoste thehCityeabouti5130~0001ngTheeCity of Jacksonvilleem
was pursuing an 800 HHZ system that would cost over 515,000,000 far countywide
emergencies. The Atlantic Beach Fire Department was complaining that their
existing communications were inadequate and in need of immediate upgrades. The
communications division needed rearranging and upgrading in several areas.
Thete was no one employed by the City of Atlantic Beach who had the expertise to
direct our longterm communications programs.
With these conflicting projects in mind, the Commission directed us to seek a
consultant to provide us with guidance for immediate and longterm direction.
They set aside about 52,700 for that purpose.
In the Fall, we sought to prepare an RPP that would address our overall
communications needs. Me asked other law enforcement agencies if they could
recommend a firm, and we were referred to Pallans and Associates in Coral
sentrout RFPSr to manyt communicationsuconsultantspincludingvPallansc(sec ry, we
attachments).
Ne found that Pallans and Associates were working in Clay County on their
system, and Capt. Campbell and Communications Supervisor Jeanie Brown attended ,
presentation that they provided in Clay County. Pallans appeared to do an
excellent job in presenting information and answering questions. Pallans and
Associates is Gasically a small firm comprised of individuals with other
fulltime jobs.
A second proposal was received, and it was from Hayes, Seay, Ha ttern, & Hatters,
Snc. This firm pzovidetl zepre sentatives to come to Atlantic Beach to meet with
City staff. They had excellent credentials, and they were a large, national
firm. They were very friendly and open in discussions about our needs and
goals.
After reviewing the two companies, Z a^ confident that either one can provide us
with the direction that we need. Ne can anticipate advantages and disadvantages
with each type of organization:

AGENDA ITEM: Land donation by Reuben Buff kin
SUBMITTED BY: George Worley, City Planner
DATE: October 21, 1993
BACKGROUND:
Mr. Buffkin, owner of two lots in Section H hac offered to
donate the two adyoinfng lotc to the city. The two lots, Lots 1
k 2, Block B4, Section H, (southeast corner of Main Street and
West Second Street( are zoned RG-1 (allowing duplexecl. His two
lots have an assessed value of f13,300 for tax purposes, and
have square footages of approxfaately 7,500 for Lot 1 and fi,000
for Lot 2.
As a reasonably accurate rule of thumb, the acseased value
of property in this area is 80% to 90% of the warketable value.
This •ould cake the aarketable value of this property coaewhere
between (34,500 and f16,500.
RECOMMENDATION:
Based on this value and the fact that the city would gain
control of two buildable lots for either resale, donation or
developaent of a park or playground, Staff reeoamendc acceptance
of the offer.
In regard to the eventual disposition of the two lots, a
suggested approach could be as followc:
If tleveloped as single-featly hoses, the lots have a
utility assessment of f997 each plus water and sewer impact fees
of f 1,550 each, plus a -.apf tai laproveaent charge of (325 each,
for a total amount due to the city of f2,872 per lot plus
building permits if applicable.
It the city tlonated those lotc to Beaches Habitat or the
Donner CDC with the provision that the above costs would be paid
to the cityy at the tine of construction, we would be furthering
an et{ptt Ta increase aooess to hose ownership for low/aoderate
income reeidente 1n Atlantic Beech without coating the city or
the utility enterprise funds. Thle would be a break even
arrangement for the city.

CITY COMMISSION MEETING
STAFF REPORT
AGENDA ITEM: Request by Habitat for donation of land
SUBMITTED BY: George Worley, Community Development Director
DATE: March 3, 1995
BACKGROUND:
In October of 1993 Mr. Reuben Buffkin donated tso lots near
the south end of Main Street to the city. At that time a number
of potential options for the use of the lots sere discussed,
including the option to self or donate them to Habitat or the
DCDC {or the construction of homes. The lots are currently
vacant but overgrown sith vegetation. Both lots abut the eobile
home park.
Beaches Habitat has expressed a strong interest in
obtaining these Iota for construction of tso hoses. Their
1994/1995 building schedule calls for more homes than they have
lots available. They have requested that the city donate the
two lots to them.
RECOMMENDATION:
- In preparation of this report staff has considered the
potential uses of the property. The two most likely usec are as
a small park or for sale for development. The two lots combinetl
total approximately 13,500 square feet or .30 acres. The lots
abut the mobile hose park. The size of the property will limit
any park uses to either a passive park or a playground. The
city has recently added the Tresca property to its inventory of
potential park/playground/recreation facility property in the
Section H area. Several of the larger tracts of city osned land
are •ithin three blacks of the tso Iota in question. A number
of passive and active park 4aciliiies have been discussed for
the larger tracts under city ownership in the vicinity. All
[mmediate neighborhood park needs could certainly be met by
these larger tracts.
The property is zoned for duplex development. 14 St were
sold to a private developer it would almost certainly be
developed •ith a duplex on each Ict. Tha proposed use by
Beaches Habitat is for one Single-family home on each lot.
Staff has •orked with Beaches Habitat for the past four
years and has found them to be a reliable and consistent
provider of new homes for lo• to moderate income range
faeilies. This, coupled •ith the limited usefulnmss of thm two
lotc to the city, suggests to staff that the donation of theca ~ /i
two lots to Beaches Habitat, if th the provision that two /iv/r

Dear Mr. Leinbach,
I am writing this letter in order to request a variance to the city
ordinance which requires that there be a 1500 foot separation
between businesses that sell alcoholic beverages.
I would like to be put on the agenda for the next regularl
scheduled city commission meeting to propose an amendment to the
Code to allow for a variance.
Sincerely,

CITY COMMISSION MEETING
STAFF REPORT
AGENDA ITEM: Request for maf ver of distance requirement for
alcoholic beverage license. ~~
SUBMITTED BY: George Worley, Coemunf ty Development Director ~G%~'
DATE: March 3, 1995 lll~~~
BACKGROUND:
The applicant desires to open a convenience store on
Sailfish Drive in the block. The store will sell alcoholic
beverages. The provisions of Chapter 3, Section 3-6 require a
minimum separation of 1500 feet between locations with alcoholic
beverage licenses unless one or more of those locations are
restaurants with a seating capacity of 150 or more. There is a
small (well belom 150 seats) restaurant approximately 400 feet
north of the proposed convenience store location also on
Sailfish Drive.
A similar issue was raised in Juiy of 1993 That
situation involved a retail sales business to be located lets
than 1500 feet from several existing businesses Iicenced for
alcoholic beverage sales. At that time a maiver of the 1500
foot separation requirement mss granted by motion and vote of
the City Commission whf ch included a prohibition of son cite
consumptions. An amendment was proposed to allom variances, but
it mould have applied to all provisions of the Code of
Ordinances and therefore mss subsequently defeated.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff believes that the 1500 foot aeparatf on requirement of
Chapter 3 is necessary and appropriate. Thic type of
requirement is standard in many other city`s codes and ^orkc to
prevent a congregation of alcohol related buafneemee in one
geographic location which often recuitc in nuiaancec that of{act
nearby businesses and residential areas. The granting of
^aivers of this requirement will undermine this provision and,
therefore, Staff recommends against the requested waiver.

RE: Pension Pre-tax Deduction Plan
I have reviewed the cost of initiating the pre-tax deduction
plan for the pension with Ann Meuse. Me believe the best method
of paying for the plan would be to have the City pap the coats up
front. Nhea the plan goes into effect approzimately 9 to 12 months
later, the pension deduction would pay the City back.
This would time the additional payroll deduction (for the
pensioners life insurance policy) with the added money from the
pre-tax plan so the employee would see very little change in his
take home pay and in some cases may nee as increase.
After the initial cost of the pre-tax deduction is paid, the
employee's deduction (less than lf) would pay for a pensioner's
life insurance policy.
A survey conducte3 for the general employees and the police
and fire employees revealed that Blt of the employees agreed to
allow an additional payroll deduction to pal for coat of a pre-taz
deduction plan and a life insurance policy for pensioners.

The Pension Board has passed a resolution recommending the establishment
of a pre-[ax deduction plan to alloy [he pension contributions from
employees to be deducted as a pre-tax contribution.
Gabriel, Roeder, Smith b Company has estimated [he cos[ to start this
program at 52,500 for [heir fee and a ;700.00 User Fee [o the IRS.
Total cos[ would be 53,200.00. when the plan goes into effect approxi-
mately 9 to 12 months later, the pension deduction would pay the City
back.
This plan would save the employee the tax on [he percentage now being

at Donner Park for three years, and the field is rarely requested
or utilized by the A.B.A.A. For several years, I coached
Atlantic Beach teams who practiced baseball in Neptune Beach. I
am also aware of other teams who have played at fields other than
Russell Park. it would be nice to have all of the baseball
events in one centralized location, but apparently it is not
feasible or mandatory for the success of the program.
3). At the Parks and Recreation meeting on Saturday,
February 4, 1995, we obtained numerous ideas from the various
interests in attendance. During the entire day, I never heard
anyone suggest that we needed to expand the Little League program
in Russell Park. On the contrary, there were repeated
suggestions that we needed to add supervised recreational
programs in other parks. The group wanted more utilization of
existing parks, and they wanted to diversify the use of the
parklands. Donner~Park appears to have space fora T-Hall field,
and adding such a field would be consistent with the ideas
expressed in the parks and recreation meeting.
4). My wife is on the school advisory committee for the
Atlantic Beach school. One of their suggestions last month was
to explore the possibility of upgrading the ball field at that
location. They already have a location laid out, but they need
to put clay and improve the field. If A.H.A.A. is going to
basically build another field, this would improve the school
grounds for all of the kids to enjoy during and after school.
I discussed this with the principal last week, and she said
that she was confident that we could work out arrangements for
parking and T-Ball. This could improve access to the
recreational facilities at the school for the entire community.
Summary: I have attempted to stay out of the politics
between A.B.A.A. and the City of Atlantic Beach. Hy family hag
participated in the Little League for many pears, and we plan to
continue doing so. However, the information contained in the
memorandum is accurate, and it may assist you in making decisions
relative to the request for an additional T-Ball field in Russell
Park.
If You need any additional information, please do not
hesitate to call.

DATE: 2/14/95
BOBJECT: T-Ball field.
I hope that the following information is helpful to the
Board is making a decision relative to the location of a new T-
Ball field:
- 1). Last pear, ve had problems with parking in the Russell `
Park/City Ball parking areas. Most teams were scheduled to play
oa Saturdays, sad generally teams were varminq up while others
were completing their games on the fields. There were numerous
times when there vere no parking spaces available for fans,
players, or families.
When marked spaces were not available, people parked where
ever they could find room including in travel lanes, oa grassed
areas, and in illegal locstioas. Last year, this created
problems with traffic flow, it damaged areas of the park, and it
resulted in parking tickets issued to fans. The parking of
vehicles in such areas also created a safety problem for
children.
The addition of a T-Ball field in Russell Park will result
in additional vehicles including coaches, umpires, families, and
fans. This will simply exacerbate the existing problem.
2). The use of a site away from Russell Park map
inconvenience some families, especially these who map have more
than one child playing ball. However, fields have been utilized
away from Russell Park for many years. Fields at the Mapport
Naval Base have been consistently used for qi rls softball games,
and the families with more than one child playing (including
mine) have made adjustments. A girls softball team hae practiced

mentioned existing system deficiencies. All proposed gravity sewer
lines included in this alternate would consist of 8 inch PVC pipe
laid at the required elope of 0.40 8. Sewer lines laid at that
elope results in a wetwell depth of 16 feet. In an effort to
shorten the proposed wetwell, consideration was given to
slopealy Gravity lines thatsare notfcoatzollinq werelmai tainedtat
8 inches. Svaluationa of systems using larger sewer pipe sizes (up
to 12 inches) indicated that the wetwell depth could only be
shortened by 2 feet.
III. Stozm Sewer Svstam Review
A preliminary review of storm sewer improvements proposed by C82H
Hill indicates that the location of both existing and proposed
structures should not presegt any major problems with implementing
any of the proposed sanitary server improvements. C82H Hill has
proposed upgraded storm sewer structures ir. the vicinity of
Poinsetta Street between Park and Sturdivant Avenues, Sturdivant
Avenue near Sherry Street and along Sherry Street Implementing
improvements proposed by Alternate No. 2 (exclusively gravity
system) would, at a minimum, require keeping the two existing
conflict manholes namely, Manhole No.'s 72 sad 77. However,
implementing improvements proposed by Alternate No. 4 (gravity
system augmented with lift station) should not require these
conflict manholes because of the redirection of gravity lines in
the case Manhole No. 77, and deeper trench cuts in the case of
Manhcle No. 72.
Locations of additional possible conflict manholes include the
intersection of Park Avenue and Poinsetta Street, Sturdivant Avenue
near Manhole No. 75 and Sherry Street near Manhole No.'s 20 end 37.
The actual number of conflict manholes that would be required would
depend on the actual location and depth of the upgraded storm newer
strncturea and the type of sanitary sewer system implemented. An
obvious advantage of a lift station-based system over an
exclusively gravity flow-based system is the flexibility of design
afforded by the lift station. With regards to the proposed storm
sewer improvements, this flexibility translates to minimizing the
number of conflict manholes required.
IV. Prelimiaarv Cost Estimat
Preliminary opinions of probable costa were calculated for the two
alternate solution judged to feasible based ~on the above
discussion. These cost estimates are ae follows:

The final rerouting cenario con eyed the possibility of
redirecting sews flow from the a a of Park Avenue and
Sturdivant Ave a directly to the s r at Sherry Street
with a gray' line running eastward long Sturdivant
Avenue to t intersection of Sturdivant A ue and Sherry
Street. he objective of this scenario uld be to
elimina the existing gravity line running wean the
churc sad school. Again, this scenario is judge of to
be asible because the Sherry Street sewer line wou be
t - shallow to accept discharge from the redirected
Alternate No. 4 - Lift Station with Increased aravit Sawar Slooes
This alternate solution addresses problems that can result if the
sewer line along Sherry Street surcharges during high flow
conditions. Flow blockage and flooding in the upstream sections
resulting from surcharging of the sewer may lead to a significant
backup of flow with potential overflow into the streets. It should
be noted that this problem is not addressed by any of the above
gravity flow-based systems, however, the extent of the problem
would depend on the actual frequency and degree of surcharging.
A lift station allows greater flexibility in system design. The
proposed lift station-based system is depicted on Sheet No. 3.
Existing Manhole No. 73 would be replaced by the proposed lift
station. The existing gravity line between the church and school
would be replaced with a force main that would discharge to the
existing sewer at Sherry Street.
In conjunction with the proposed lift station, redirection of
selected gravity sewers was conducted to alleviate other above

past in getting people to ooroe fxaa wt of town to follow up
with warranty work. Ne felt placing the 6U mile ,..q,.; **~~^t
was staff's way of raving someone local who could be
suooessfully dealt with relative tv problems that might occur.
Ca~missioner Aosenbloan felt if the i~+i *~*++A^t was lifted
qst saving might occur, and that it was up to staff to
enforce the contract.
Cam~issioner Weiss felt the matter was not on the agenda and
thus was a major departure from the roaoal way of doing
business. tae felt the city had already made a decision based
on staff's remm~dation and the city should respect that
decision. Ne indicated he was wn~exned about a six week
delay to start the biddug pmoadure over agann, and although
the city world probably get an extension fray the Department
of Fhvir+onrental Protectia~ (DEP), this was rat a sure thing.
He indicated the oamiission did rot question staff when the
bid was prepared and he felt the caunission should rely on
staff.
Co¢missionP_r Shaughnessy indicated originally she was rot in
favor of the tootion, but she felt more bids would possibly
save the city mor+ey. She questioned Bab Xosoy, Public Works
Director, mrrcernirg the time frame involved in the project
dud in SdtlSfylrlg DFF pe1]R1ttlllg `'°~^+i *~+pntS. Mr. IC090y arld
Jim Jarboe, Deputy City Manager, explairrd the time that would
be involved in ov~pleting the project.
Commissioner Weiss indicated there were four bidders, and he
felt that awardug the bid locally was i~crtant.
