08-10-98]):A and ]TA base entered into a joint agreement where the roadway construction and utility installation will be combined into one project, bid accordingly and result m one general convactor being responsible for scheduling and any coordination issues. The roadway and utility constmction costs will be segregated such that each agency will be aware of their respective costs at all times. As you are aware from the previous design plans provided you by 1TA there are some substantial impending impacts on the City of Atlantic Beach utilities located in the rightof--way. As mentioned during our meeting, some of the potential affects are listed below. • Areas of de-mucking • Areas of cut & fill • Installation of vaffic signal foundations • Box culvert replacement at Sherman Creek Relocation of all utilities will be required. Relocation of utilities may be required depending on the resulting cover. Relocation of utilities may be regwred depending on potential conflicts. Relocation of utilities required. • Bridge design at Puckett Creek Relocation of utilities required. • Drainage improvemenu Relocation of utilities may be required depending on the potential conflicts. We gave you two copies of the lTA 60°/, plans to assist you in assessing your utilities impacts. These plans reflect the current location of de-mucking, cut & fill areas, traffic signals and drainage structures and bridges. Should you deem it desirable, BHR will be available to assist you in addressing the design needs for relocation of your utilities. Given our unique opportunity, we have the knowledge and forces, immediately available to provide the City of Atlantic Beach a utility relocation design complimentary to the current JTA roadway and JEA utility designs. We believe our meeting yesterday was productive, in providing you with a better understanding of the impending impacts that the City of Atlantic Beach must face as a result of JTA's project. We also know that BHR's position would provide the city with an opportunity to effeMivel;~ prepare and implement a design that would meet the needs you have and meet the schedule of JTA. If we can be of further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us. Sincerely, BHR, Inc. Ro M. Si ons, .E. Project M er RMS/mao RECEIVED AUG 3 1999 pl1BlJG WORKS 5.98142 Wandvwood Rd.

Public Works Director/Engineer City of Atlantic Beach 1200 Sandpiper Lane Atlantic Beach, FL 32233 Re: Jacksonville Transportation Authorit}' Wondervood Connector Project Dear Mr. Kosoy: RECEIVED nuG 41998 PUBLIC WORKS We appreciate the opportunit}~ to meet with you }~esterda}~ to discuss the upcoming Jacksonville Transportation Authority (JTA) Wondenvood Connector project and the impending impacts upon the City of Atlantic Beach Buccaneer water and sewer utilities. As is often the case, government agencies like 1TA are not ver}~ proactive in full}' alerting other municipal governments of impending costly impacts to their infrastructure until its almost too late to react. As you are aware, BHR is currently under contract with JTA to provide construction plans for Wonderwood Road from west of SR AlA to eazt of Mayport Road. Included is the widening of VVondervvood Road from riv'o-lanes to four-lanes with curb & gutter and a landscaped median. Also included in BHR's responsibilities are traffic signal design, replacement of the box culvert at Sherman Creek. design of a bridge to replace the culvert at Puckett Creek and drainage improvements including four off-site retention ponds. Our transportation department haz recently completed and submitted the GO% design to JTA for their review. The dates set by JTA for roadwa}~ design completion; bid date and beginning of construction are as follows: Design complete November, 1998 Bid date December, 1998 Begin construction March, 1999 1TA has been adamant about maintaining this schedule. In addition to the roadway design, BHR also is working for the Jacksonville Electric Authority (1EA), Water and Sewer Business Unit to prepare design plans fora 20-inch wa[ermain and 20-inch forcemain paralleling the roadway section under design. Consistent with the roadway section, the above utilities will extend from west of SR A lA to east of Ma}port Road. Included in this design is the coordination between [hc roadway design (including stormwater piping/s[rudures) and existing utilities. Our municipal engineering group has recently completed and submitted the 30% design to JEA for their review. JEA has insisted [hat the design completion date for the utilities match the JTA's design completion date of November, 1998.

Kosoy dated July 31,1998 Plans are on file with the City Clerk's office REVIEWED BY CITY AGENDA ITEM NO. g A ~-/D-98 CITY OF ATLANTIC BEACH CITY COMMISSION MEETING STAFF REPORT AGENDA ITEM: Jacksonville Transportation Authority Wonderwood Connector Project SUBMITTED BY: Robert S. Kosoy, P.E., Public Works Director <Pfi?/~ DATE: August 6, 1998 __ __ __ QQ BACKGROUND: On July 20, 1998, the design engineer for the Jacksonville Transportation Authority Wonderwood Connector Project, Bessent, Hammack & Ruckman, Inc. (BH&R), delivered 60% plans to the Public Works Department. A meeting was held on July 30, 1998 at Public Works with Messrs. Bill Layton, P.E. and Robert Simmons, P.E. from BH&R to discuss the plans. The two major issues are the need to relocate two force mains that belong to our Buccaneer System and the aggressive schedule that the JTA now has adopted. As stated in the attached letter dated July 31, 1998 from BH&R, the JTA has set the following dates and has been adamant about maintaining the schedule: Design complete Bid date Begin construction November 1998 December 1998 March 1999 It is likely that the eastern terminus of the Wonderwood Connector could be started early in the project since the businesses and residences in this area support the project. The 60% plans have incorporated a 20" water main and 20" force main at the request of the Jacksonville Electric Authority. These lines and other potential effects such as areas of demucking and cut and fill, installation of traffic signal foundations, box culvert replacement at Sherman Creek, bridge design at Puckett Creek, and other drainage improvements all require significant portions of the City's force mains to be relocated. If all of the force mains are relocated, approximately 14,000 linear feet at approximately $40/per linear foot, the cost is estimated to be $560,000.00 plus engineering fees. The preliminary 1998-1999 fiscal year budget included $600,000.00 in the capital improvement section for the year 2000-2001. However, this schedule by JTA will require more immediate expenditures. The JTA has previously indicated that sewer lines in their right-of--way must be moved at the utility s (City of.Allantic Beach's) expense. We had hoped that major relocations would not be necessary. 8-i0-98 ORDINANCE NO. 70-98-13 AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE CODE OF ORDINANCES OF THE CITY OF ATLANTIC BEACH, AMENDING CHAPTER 20, TAXATION, ARTICLE III, OCCUPATIONAL LICENSE TAX, AMENDING SECTION 20-51, DEFINITIONS, AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE BE I1' ENACTED BY THE CITY COMMISSION ON BEHALF OF THE PEOPLE OF THE CITY OF ATLANTIC BEACH, FLORIDA: Section 1, Section 20-51, Definitions, is hereby amended to include a definition of"Passenger Vessel," as follows: Passenger Vesse! shall mea_~ a vessel intended pnmsily to transport passengers but excluding chartered fishing boats.

This was done to concentrate the benefit to that azea for maximum impact. After several years of such concentrated effort it was apparent that areas iavnediately adjacem to the designated target area were in due need as well, and that the conditions of such aeeas adversely effected the primary target area. In 1994 the City Commission approved the expansion of the target azea to include the neighborhood west of Mayport Road. This was done with the support of the Donner Community Development Corporation and has resulted in 9 owner occupied homes being rehabilitated in the expansion azea during the intervening four years. Other CDBG program benefits have also accrued to the expansion azea, including pazk improvements and utility construction Staff now believes that another azea adjacent to the primary tazget area shoukt be inchrded as part of the CDBG program. This azea does not exhibit the overall level of need that the primary target area exhibited prior to the beginning of the program, but there aze individual and small pockets ofowner-occupied homes in need of substantial rehabilitation Expansion of the program to include this area has been approved by the Donner Community Devebpmem Corporation. As an informational note, comract between the City of Atlantic Beach and the City of Jacksonville limits homeowner participation by income levels only abe not by geographic target azea. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the expansion of the CDBG tazget area, as indicated on the attached map, by adoption of Resolution 98-28. §•4-29 y ATLANTIC BEACH CODE liability for compensa ' the owner of the animal shall a e city by virtue of any procedure in this article by the cit; borne by the owner of the animal.

It was explained the Mayor would appoint a new chairperson due to the resignation of Cazolyn Woods. The meeting adjourned at 6:00 p. m. The next meeting will beheld Tuesday, August 11, 1998, at 6:00 p. m. in the Commission Chambers of the City Hall.

You cannot "hold" a dog until an owner pays a fine, he explained. A discussion ensued conceming the owner paying medical expenses if his dog bit someone, and it was decided to refer this to the City Attorney, as it was felt to be a civil matter. A long discussion ensued during which time visitors were allowed to speak. Amended Motion: Have city attorney look at motion: specifically, increase of fines, cost incurred to innocent victims, and what could be done to have dog quazantined or impounded- also incorporate language to ensure dog has had rabies shot and is not a "dangerous" dog. Can the city require a mandatory court appearance, either before code enforcement or a judge? Can the city require that the person has to make restitution?

I recommend that the City seriously consider sprinklering the building for the financial protection of City property and to set an example on behalf of the City to sprinkler its building's even though it is not a code requirement. __._ , , r oe q tW e r ~ x0 to ~ W~' ~ W ~W ~? p 1 FW ode ~a. :.x `:~. d -s M dl ly - F1fM i~tJf~i RiW ~1 p~ ~ ~ ~~~~ «a~ ~ € o ~~ ~~ W .e $ ~ v W 9~~sg ~~ E+ ~ ~ s ~ ~ s a.gY~ W ~ ~ fi 8 m; i ~ z~ ~a s a € ~ ~ ~. ~ ~~~=~ a F~~~ ~ ~~.=a z a$°g~ .~ sp3 x p~p ~; ~: ~' ~r~~_$ Ica ~ 8e Fi ~~~fO ia~ So F 2 Ra 3=~~ ~ e3 5<°~ 0~e a€~ 8 's ni ~fi~f 3 'S E3~S~~~F3 ~as 9ef §a§~a S~y~ ~k m' ^ a€~u~~'~B~E~ad'E ~~e 5sa q'~figg ~8 ~m2 ~au;i'~ ~ ~5 <1k ~Sk [ rte' e E $t ~8g ~`o'i{I ~ die ~ ~ o ~~ w ~~:3 ; ~ ~ ~ 0 8€t 8~ ~ xa: a~ ~$Y,~ F'~ ~ya P, 8A, $8 R a ~~ gcg fi$ ~y ~ di mC mG ya°O ~~C 57E ~e ao~s 9 ~ ;~~ ~ z _; ~ ~o k CS ~~s~ ~,~ ~~~a S ~~ :'~ " ~ $LLk mix dE~ ds d'€st [t[I .N nuyi a~.. .amumso ugsisgr~ ~ c 0 .~ U ~ a~`~~ ~ ~ ~ N N a~i~E~~ ~~ w t n o ~~~ U•~•~v o ` 3 < ~ H a" ~~ ~~ a $~~ ° gaa E ~i ~ fi a ~~y~s m a o M =s o N ~es 88 s R1 5E film au `~ ~ ;~~ Y4€ ~€ ~a.

' Dear Commission Members The YMCA has been operating family programs from the modular unit in Jack Russell Park for seven years. For apppproximately five of those years we have been conducting a part time preschool. We would like to continue to operate this program but m order to do so we must be licensed by HRS. To receive licensure the YMCA must make some structural changes in order to pass the fire inspection. The upgrades would consist of an integrated fire alarm system and, possibly, fire escape windows in the two back offices. We are not asking the City of Atlantic Beach to pay for these changes. The Arlington Family YMCA is willing to accept all financial responsibility for the upgrades. However, we do need the City Commission's approval before we can initiate our program. Upon receiving licensure, the YMCA would be able to make its program available to more families in the Atlantic Beach area. Previously, to operate under HRS guidelines, without making changes to the facility, the preschool program was offered to YMCA members only. Because of changes in HRS regulations the only way that this program can operate is to make the structural changes and become licensed. Upon receiving a license to operate from HRS we will be able to offer our program to all residents of Atlantic Beach. The program that we would like to offer would be open on Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 10:00 AM until ] :00 PM. The targeted opeinng day for our preschool is August 24. It would accommodate not more than 25 students and the program would consist of developmentally appropriate activities for ages three to five years old. After speaking with the Acting Fire Chief of Atlantic Beach, Mr. Mayo, he has told me that he would consider approval of the program with the stipulation that we would not enroll more than ~ students and we limit the children's activity area to the main room and the kitchen. These conditions would alleviate us from having to install fire escape windows. This would significantly cut down on the amount of structural changes that we would need to make to the facility. The YMCA accepts the stipulations given to us by the Fire Department.

The modifications aze necessary to meet HRS and Fire Code standards. Additional information was requested from Mrs. Hammetsmazk regarding the current and proposed use of the trailer and staff was requested to ascertain if adequate insurance coverage was in place, and if the concept of constructing a permanent building replacement was still in consideration. hirs. Hammersmazk has supplied the attached letter describing their proposed use of the trailer. In synopsis, their program is a three day per week half day pre-school program. This program has been operated in the past, but due to HRS regulation changes the program must now be Gxnsed. The licensing requirement triggered inspection by the Fire Department which disclosed the need for buiMing Codifications. The City maintains insurance coverage on the building itself and the YMCA has provided staff with proof of Lability and property insurance covering their program and building contems. No changes to our city coverage are necessary because of this program. The Recreation Department has proposed, as a betterment, a pet7nanent replacement building to be constructed in Russell Pazk. The estimated cost of such a building is approximately 560,000 depending upon the size and construction type. This betterment would allow the trailer building to be removed from the pazk and sold or moved to another location. The YMCA has been apprized of the possibility that the upgrades they propose may beshort-lived.

Thompson Director of Public Safety DATE: August 5, 1998 BACKGROUND: At the July 27, 1998 City Commission meeting, the City Manager was directed to work with appropriate staff to seek solutions to the 10Th Street parking problem. In addition to conducting prier research, Jim Jarboe, John Campbell, Don Ford, George Worley, and David Thompson met on Monday, August 3, 1998 to explore the options and determine what additional information was needed. It was agreed that the Ciry of Jacksonville Parking Division would be able to provide some helpful guidance as to leasing parking space, and subsequently, the Florida League of Cities could shed some light on the subject. John Campbell agreed to contact these entities to seek additional information that may be helpful to us. Relative to the parking space issues its impact on funding for other projects including beach renourishment and similar funding, Don Ford agreed to do more research in that area. We need that information to assure that we identify any possible problems that proposed solutions may create relative to these resources. The group brain stormed a variety of proposals that could alleviate the problem. However, all "solutions" will need to be reviewed by the City Attomey to assure that they are legal. Some of the solutions are questionable in terms of legality, and they need to be reviewed by the City Attomey before presentation to the City Commission for action. A report is being prepared at this time identifying the various choices. We should have a list of choices, benefits, and anticipated problems by the August 24, 1998 City Commission Meeting.

City Manager of Atlantic Beach JULY 27, 1998 COMMISSION MEETING DRUM: Theo Mitchelson RE; Proposed Employee Income Bonus Program l)carlim .1; yuu know, one ofthe goals that 1 spoke of when 1 was campaigning was an "Incentive Bums Program' for our city employees. l use bonus programs for n,y stall'in my company, and, because of the success 1 have had with it, I Celt that the City of Atlantic Beach could benefit from such a program. 11am~ times, the people actually perfornung a given job may be able tv identify different way < that the job, or a portion of it, could be done with equal or better results, at a cost sacin~s to the city. fu entice that type of thinking, there should be a reward for such etPorts. !t is one thing, to a~~ employee, to just du an excellent job at the work you've been hired to do. It is quite another to take the extra step and become PERSONALLY involved in saving [he city money. t prolwse that the program be structured as fi~llows: If an employee identified a way in which the city can save money, and at the same tint. nrn reduce our Icvel of sen•ice, that employee would submit the idea, in writing. for consideration. It; after review, the city adopts the idea, and it PROVES to produce a cost savings, then 4te BO\US of 10% of one year's savings with a 34,000 cap, would be split in half, with half going to the employee whose idea it w•as, and the other half going into a "kiny" or "pool" to be divided among ALL city employees right before Christmas each year. 16e «•ason fur the "sharing" of a portion of the bonus with all employees istwo-fold (1) Sontc employees are in a better position, by virtue of the type of job that they do, to receive suvh a honus, and we don't want to create a program that cause divisiveness amongst rnir cmptoyees. (2) Tn addition, the goal would be to stimulate this type of thinking across the hoard. with atl positions, without regard to large or small savings. in that manner, an vmpluyce who cmuributes an idea wish small savings is still motivated tv participate because a 4enerat sense oftcamwork and cohesiveness has been slintulated. Though their idea did not result in a large personal monetary reward, even their small contribution is deserved and appreciated. I «mt rite City of Atlantic Dcach standpoint, this proposal is, at worst, revenue ne.•trtral, and at hvu. revenue positive. We have nothing ro lose and everything to gain. r ' v~) ~ ~ -- JULY 27, 1998 COMMISSION MEETING $ unllrlary: Island Club is a building of 10 Individually owned Townhomes at 10th street at the ocean and Beach Avenue. The value of the group of townhomes is approximately f .5 million dollars. Parking at Island Club is limited to 23 parking spaces and is owned by the City of Atlantic Beaclt. Some may ask why would someone buy a townhome with out parking ? !n the mid 1980's each townhome had two designated and numbered parking places and should someone park in your space(s), the Atlantic Beach Police Dept. would tow the car parked in yoiu spot. At some point (near 1990) this enforcement ended. Then parking sticker program worked well to control the parking situation in front of Island Club but when it expired our parking problem amain surfaced to its current problem. It has become known that anyone can park in Ihvse spaces and often there is no parking for the owners of the townhomes. It has become a near unbearable situation to come home and have no place to park to enter your home that you pay S 4,500 (# 5) in annual property taxes. We are seeking your help with au situation.

It was great for just a little while, then the speed bumps were installed. I wanted to know why the speed bumps were installed in the first place, so I talked with the Police Department. I was informed that the Commissioners instructed them to do an investigation on speeding on Beach Avenue, which they did, and found that speeding was not an issue; as far as the Police Department was concerned. They found very little speeding and recommended that the speed bumps not be installed; but because of some special citizen's relationship with some members of the Commission, they installed speed bumps. I, along with other Atlantic Beach residents, complained to the Police Department and City Hall about the speed bumps and they decided to cut out a diagonal space so you would not have to hit the speed bumps, but this has not worked. If you are lucky enough to catch the angle of speed bumps and you don't fall because of the little holes that the cut-outs have made, then you can still go on your journey. If you donut catch the angle and hit the speed bumps, then you are in for a very scary ride. The first time I rode over these speed bumps, I fell. Thank goodness I was on my bike and not my roller blades. Many times I have tried to go around these bumps, like so many others have been doing for a safer ride, but have found that it is also very dangerous. I tried riding over the speed bumps on my bike, but the articles in my basket bounced out, including my cellular phone which broke. I am requesting that you completely remove all the speed bumps on Beach Avenue as soon as possible. Beach Avenue is a quiet little street that does not have a speed problem, which has been proven by our own police department. I have contacte~ other residents of our community about this problem and they have all agreed with me, including some of our neighbors on Beach Avenue. Please do the right thing and remove those speed bumps as soon as possible. Very truly yours, Paul B.

The Mayor explained that the reason the parking sticker program was discontinued was that its use threatened federal funding for beach renourishment. Commissioner Mitchelson suggested that the city dedicate ten spaces for the residents' use and lease them for a fee of $2.50 per day. Commissioner Meserve stated he could sympathize with the property owners, but he did not think "the city could legally lease spaces to them. He felt a possible alternative would be to close the street end and sell the property to the townhome owners, but because of the limited public parking for ocean access this would not be practical. He felt this was no answer to the problem created by the previous developer and owners of the property, and the current residents were awaze there was no on-site parking when they bought their homes. City Attorney Jensen expressed concern that leasing or dedicating public spaces for use by private citizens would "open Pandora's box" causing citizens or businesses in other aeeas to make similar requests. Kay Lanier of 95 10th Street, who lives at the Island Club, inquired as to ~vho approved the previously designated the parking spaces for the residents. Much discussion ensued concerning the history of the property. Mayor Shaughnessy read excerpts from minutes of previous Commission and Planning Board Meetings indicating the actions taken relative to the property. Mayor Shaughnessy inquired if the city had any responsibility to correct the problem. City Attorney Jensen cautioned the Commission against setting a precedent and advised them to judge each request on its own merits, with uniform rules and criteria being applied to all requests of a similar nature. Commissioner Mitchelson inquired if any other areas in the city had this problem and it was determined that similar parking problems existed for the area by Ragtime.
