The above park improvements will not only optimize our parks, but will make them user friendly and inviting. Bull Park Small park located near Adele Grage Community Center. Because of the size of Bull Park, it would be best to designate it a tot Park. This would require replacing the large merry-go-round with a smaller one, purchasing a park sign and replacing the broken large swing with a jungle gym. Other improvements include: Update playground equipment (see summary) $14,000 Picnic table/ Park sign, Benches $ 5,600 Water fountain (1) $ 2,000 Labor $ 5,000 Total S 26,600 Jordan Park Thanks to George Worley, Sharette Simpkins and the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds, there are not many improvements needed. Park lights $ 3,500 Volleyball court $ 1,500 Concrete flooring for shelters $ 1,600 Total $ 6,600 Donner Park The construction of the Community Center will enhance Donner Park, but other improvements are needed to bring this park to complete service and community satisfaction.

Urgent consideration must be given to the our parks to make them safe and inviting. Because of the importance of community parks and safety factors involved in best serving our citizens, I am sure you will agree that the following improvements are necessary. Attached is a copy of park recommendations Ipresented to the Recreation Advisory Board Wednesday, November 15. These recommendations were voted on and approved by a 5-0 vote. Below is a more detailed list of park improvements provided by the Recreation and Parks Department. My initial recommendations included using all of the allocated $220,000 for Howell Park improvements (See Option C). These improvement were very costly because of the recommended use of recyclable material. Because water tends to rest in the park, treated wood material will erode rapidly and is not capable of withstanding constant water exposure. Since November 15, I have developed other less costly options. If either Options A or B are selected, additional park improvements are recommended as follows. See below - (All prices are estimates): Howell Park Option A: Redesignate part of Howell Park as conservation area - Reduce the amount of area maintained - Reduce the amount of bridges - Reduce the length of the walking trail - Reduce the number of entrances - Treated material Total: 5100,000 January 15, 1996 STREET END BEACN ACCESS BEAUTIFICATION PROGRAM Purpose: To encourage, through a "share-cost" matching program, landscaping enhancements to the street end accesses. Improvements are intended to provide clean, aesthetically pleasing, and low maintenance greenspace areas between Beach Avenue and oceanfront at each street end. Procedure: The City will provide water for installation of irrigation systems. Staff will also assist in the landscape design of areas to be improved, to include recommending planting material. Neighborhood residents will be responsible for collection of funds, landsca- ping material and installation, and maintenance pro- gram for improved accesses. Promotion of the program will be by media ("Tideviewa", local newspapers, flyers, etc.) and interested groups and/or neighborhoods will be given written information and guidelines. Beautification Committee members and/or staff (Coordinator, Gardener) will be available to meet with groups for detail planning and recommendations. The finished plan, with proposed coat and provisions for maintenance, must be approved by Beautification before water source is supplied. Coat: Expense will vary dependant on size and con- figuration of area to be landscaped. Public works can determine cost involving water lines installation. The extent of landscaping, and type and nueber of plants to be installed will govern planting cost. NOTH: In all cases, landscaping improvements are to be cost-conscious with strong emphasis on low maintenance, low water con- sumption, and minimum of plant replacement needs. Prior to any work being performed, an educated "ball park" fig- ure with vendor estimates for project will be determined.

VERMILLION PAGE 2 The ordinance further states the following in reference to violations: No person shall interfere with the Animal Control Officer in the enforcement of this ordinance. Violation of this ordinance is a civil infection resulting in a fine of $25 (1st offense), $90 (2nd offense) and $75 for each subsequent violation. The Animal Control Officer has the authority to issue the citations. Warnings have little or no impact...for example: last Thurs. or Friday a man was on the beach with his dog without a leash...he was stopped and warned - by Animal Control.in~regard to the offense... as soon as Animal Control was out of sight, the man let the dog off the leash again! WE HAVE AN ORDINANCE...WE SHOULD ENFORCE IT...there is nothing xrong with having a nice, clean beach free of dog feces!!! AND, there should be nothing wrong wi*.h being able to walk your pet on the beach without fear of being attacked!!! Perhaps we need to have stiffer fines...perhaps we need to issue citations on the 1st offense instead of giving warnings...perhaps then Atlantic Beach will develop a reputation.- where people will stop and think twice before allowing their dogs to ruin our beach. I said before that I am a dog owner and that I walk S exercise my dog on the beach...however, if we cannot find a way to better enforce the Animal Control Ordinance to where our citizens feel safe and protected. then perhaps we should consider banning ali animals from the beach...I sincerely hope this never happens! ~xh,~b; t i3 ~l~/9~ /Yl~ nu fPS 'CG: ATLAN'T'IC BEACH CITY COUNCIL FROh1o SALLY H. VERMILLION SUBJECT: ATI,AP;TIC BEACH ANIMAL CONTROL ORDINANCE DATE: JANUAR I' 8, 1996 My name is Sally H. Vermillion. I live at 701 Beach Ave., Le Chateau Condominium, Unit # 204, Atlantic Beach, Florida, 32233. I am in attendance at the City Council Meeting tonight as a direct result of a vicious dog attack on a neighbor that occurred on Wednesday, December 27, 1995. Reports any sworn affidavits have been filed with the Atlantic Beach Police Dept. and animal control describing the event... therefore, I will not take up time to give further details unless asked to do so. Before I make my comments, I would like to state that I am a dog owner... and I would like to be able to walk my dog on the beach without the fear of an unleashed dog attacking my dog and/or me. My reasons for addressing the council are to raise some questions, make some constructive suggestions and to express my concerns with regard to the lack of enforcement of the Atlantic Beach Animal Control Ordinance...the provisions of which are stated to be in effect throughout Atlantic Beach 24 hours a day. Living on the beach itself, I am most familiar with the problems that exist in my immediate and surrounding area. I find the 2 most glaring offenses to be the violations of the following. provisions in the ordinance...both are clearly stated as such: a. Dog owners must carry some sort of clean-up material with which to remove the animal's defecation from the beach, etc...feces should be deposited in a trash container. b. When your dog is off your property, it must be on a leash not to exceed 12 feet in length xith the leash held by the owner/handler. The ONLY exception is when the dog is with its owner/habdler swimming in the ocean. The owner/handler must then immediately re-leash the dog before returning to the beach. At least '~ of the people walking dog on the beach completely ignore the provisions of this ordinance...for this reason, I am reluctant to' walk my dog on the beach without constantly looking over my shoulder and without a can of survelliance-pepper-spray in hand...as a false sense of security, ih, UecemLer ~s0, ] sent the owner copies oY' vet. and prescription bills totalling 861;.09, requesting reimbursement. In my letter I said 1 would forward the doctor and hospital bills when I received Lhem. I have not yet received acknowledgement of my letter. Tf.' letter was sent to the owner's address as shown on the police report, which I understand is his parents' home. I do not know the address of the apartment in Jacksonville Beach. Miss Lester would not give it to me. My questions concerning animal control in Atlantic Beach follow: 1. According to Miss Lester, a citation cannot be issued an owner for allowing a dog to run loose unless this is witnessed by her or a police officer. If this is correct, is this adequate enforcement? Why can't eye-witness accounts from two or more Atlantic Beach citizens suffice? 2. Is the fine currently levied with the citation sufficient? $25.00 for an attack resulting in bites to another dog and a human being is insufficient to serve as a deterrent, in my opinion. 3. Should the City of Atlantic Beach have the authority to have a dog that attacks and bites or mauls a human being euthanized? I think it should. I appreciate the Council's willingness to hear my story and a=lowing me the opportunity to express m}° concerns. •Betty D'e ~- Chin 701 Beach Avenue, Unit 103 Atlantic Beach, Florida 32233 It should 1-,e noted ghat the da;: of the incident was a very cold day. I had on a T-shirt, sweat shirt and sweat pants, and a full-length all-weather coat. I had on a hat, a scarf around my neck, and gloves. If it were not for that protective clothing, there is no doubt that my wounds would have been much more severe. My dog had a puncture wound on her front paw. The vet gave her a shot and ointment that has to be applied twice daily. He told Sally that if I hadn't picked her up, the dogs would have killed her. That same day, BeeJay Lester, Atlantic Beach Animal Control Officer, visited my home to tell me that the two dogs were under ten days quarantine at Shoreline Veterinarian. She said she had cited the owner $25.00 because of the bite and the fact that one of the dogs did not have a City of Atlantic Beach tag. She said she was unable to cite the owner for letting the dogs off the leash, as she nor a police officer had witnessed it. She also said one of the dogs had previously got loose and she had kept it in jail and the owner had to pay to get it out. Miss Lester explained the procedure for petitioning to have the dogs declared "dangerous" under Florida Statute 787.12 and under Atlantic Beach Animal Ordinance Sec. 4-28 "Vicious Dogs". She said she would start the paperwork necessary to do so. She also told me that the owner of the dogs was required to pay- any medical and vet expenses associated with the attack. She told me to call Gail Tucker, a Health Officer at Rabies Control for the State of Florida to pursue having the dogs euthanized. I did so, and was told I would have to go to the State Attorney's office at the Duval County Courthouse and file suit in civil court. She said in the twelve years she had worked for Rabies Control, she could recall three instances, only, when the judge ruled that the dog in question iiad to be euthanized. On January 2, Miss Lester came to my house with the "dangerous dog" affadavit forms. That same day, Lauren Arn, Charlie Vermillion, Sally L'ermillion, and I filed the sworn affadavits at the Atlantic Beach Police Department. BeeJay sent a letter dated January 2, to the owner advising him of the affadavits and that he had seven calendar days in which to appeal. An appeal would result in a hearing before the Code Enforcement Board. This morning, BeeJay Lester telephoned to let me know that the female dog attacked another dog while quarantined at Shorelines. At the vet's recommendatir.n, the owner had her put Lo sleep. The owner told BeeJay that the other dog is now secured insidrr an apartment in Jacksonville Beach. She will verify with the Ja>: Beach Animal Control Officer, Mr. Kade, that a .Ia~k Bead: t-ag has been obtained.

I heard a man yelling at the top of his lungs, and looked up to see what his problem was, and saw that he was yelling at his dogs to come back to him. (The man was approximately four blocks south of me.) They were racing towards me. I picked up my dog and the two dogs attacked us. They were up on their hind legs all over me, trying to get my dog. They bit me on both aims, and bit my dog on her paw. I was screaming repeatedly, as loudly as I could. k'hen the man caught up with us, he had to pull. the dogs off me, one at a time and attach their leashes. After the dogs were leashed, the man started to leave the beach, going up the Se,~enth Street access. I asked him his name, and he igncred me. I screamed over and over, "what is your name? Please tell me your name! Your dogs bit me. I'm bleeding!", and he kept walking up the ramp, never responding. I finally screamed for him to at least tell me if his dogs had been vaccinated and he replied, "Yes, they hace." He kept. on walking up the ramp, and never responded further to me. One of my neighbors, Lauren Arn, (Unit 104), came down the ramp toward the man, and I yelled at Lauren to stop him - that his dogs had bitten me and I was bleeding, and he wouldn't tell me his name. About that time, another neighbor, Charlie Vermillion (Unit 204), came out, and asked the man what his name was. He finally said his name was Champ Kaufmann. One of my neighbors called 911 for the rescue unit and police. Charlie Vermillion followed the man home in his car, to make sure he had given the right address. The rescue unit came and boiled out my wounds with peroxide and wrapped them in bandages, and told me to go to the emergency room at Beaches - Baptist Hospital for further treatment. Charlie Vermillion Look me to the emergency room and his wife Sally, took my dog t,o Beaches Animal Clinic. At the emergency room, I had three stitches on the inside of m~~ right arm. There was also a puncture wound on my left elbow that. did not require stitches. There was also a huge bruise on the inside of my ieft elbo,: caused by a bite that did not go through my clothes. I ::as given a tetenus shot, a prescription for an antibiotic, and told to return within 48 hours for a check-up.

Under thls program the city was eligible for reimbursement of up to 50% of the purchase price. Concurrent with our application preparation, fhe City of Jacksonville was preparing an application for the purchase of the Dutton Island property. Due to the two sites spatial pro>omity and the potential for linking the sites through waterway courses, Jacksonville and Atlantic Beach cooperated in the preparation of the two applications. The City of Jacksonville offered to provide the 50% match for both grants, ff they were successfully funded, out of the Florida Barge Canal funds received from the state. In return for the matching funds, the Cily of Atlantic Beach and the City of Jacksonville would negotiate some form of joint management of the island upon its acquisition. We received confirmation late last month that we had been funded. The City of Jacksonville also received funding for their Dutton Island purchase. We can reasonaby expel reimbursement from the gram whin the next three to sbt months depending upon the timing of our completion of a management plan and the states review and aporoval of the plan. A contract will be forwarded to us and will be presented to the Commission for approval by the end of next month.

This has been done in the case of union contracts, but not for general employees. It is my recommendation that the City Commission set and maintain the mileage rate for general government at the IRS established rate. Attached for your consideration is a resolution, which if enacted will set the [RS rate as the mileage rate for general government. review and evaluation shall be based on defined goals and perform- ance objectives which the City Commission has set twelve (12) months prior to the review and evaluation. The goal and objectives shall generally be based on the resources available in the annual operating budget. SECTION 5. The City Commission may terminate the employment of the City Manager hereunder with or without cause provided that any termination or removal of the City Manager shall be in accord- ance with the provisions of the City Charter. in such event, the City Manager shall continue to be paid his salary and all benefits for at least one hundred eighty (180) days from any preliminary notice of termination. However, if the City Manager is terminated because of his conviction of any felonious act or criminal act involving personal gain, the City Commission shall have no obliga- tion to pay the aggregate severance payment and benefits. If the City Commission suggests formally or informally that the City Manager resign or refuses to comply with the terms of this Resolu- tion, the City Manager, at his option, may deem his employment to be terminated. In that event, he shall provide written notice to the City Commission. In the event that such termination occurs, he shall receive the severance pay and benefits outlined in this section. SECTION 6. In the event the City Manager resigns, he shall give the City thirty (30) days written notice in advance. SECTION 7. This Resolution shall be considered a contract between the City of Atlantic Beach and James R. Jarboe related to his appointment and terms of employment as City Manager for Atlantic Beach, Florida. SECTION 8. This Resolution and its terms shall take effect retroactively to January 1, 1996, immediately upon its final passage and adoption, and the signature of James R. Jarboe.

At the same time, the next six months to a year are filled with completing some very important and challenging issues, including: o The refinancing of debt for the City Hall and other projects. o Establishing and authorizing the financial package for the Sewer/water construction projects, and Barnett Loan refinancing. o Dealing with EPA and other agencies on the issues of consent orders on our Sewer System. o Completing design packages and initiating construction contracts on the initial Sewer/Water projects. o Completing contract negotiations with the various city employee groups. o Continuing investigation of alternative financing of improvements to the new park land acquisition. o Continuing negotiations with Jacksonville on the interlocal agreement. o Continuing to deal with the State on the land annexation issue. In my view two specific short term needs are to have a City Manager who is familiar with the above list of issues, and secondly not tie up the Commission with another challenge at this time. In order to address the two challenges I would ask the Commission consider the following suggestion. Jim Jarboe is the acting City Manager, and I would propose we put him on a one year contract as City Manager. By doing so we could postpone any global search for a replacement. It would allow us time to assess Jim Jarboe in the position and make a determination, from both sides, whether it would be good for all parties to make the move a permanent one. Zf not we could simply reactivate the search. Jim Jarboe certainly knows the issues and the personalities of the Commission, and the Staff. We would save some considerable funds by not filling in the Deputy position during that time frame. Preliminary discussions with Jim indicate that would be workable, and that he would be willing to consider such a contract. Page Four Minutes of Special Called Meeting December 27, 1995 With reference to the proposed capital improvement projects, the Mayor suggested that extra meetings be scheduled to inform the public and receive public input regarding the projects. There being no further discussion, the Mayor declared the meeting adjourned at 6 30 pm. Lyman T. Fletcher Mayor/Presiding Officer ATTEST. Maureen King City Clerk 1'agc 'I'hrec Minutes of Special Called Meeting December 27. 1995 inch main to an existing 8-inch main, and would include the addition of two new fire hydrants. The estimated cost of the water main would be $20,000.00, the cost of engineering would not exceed $2 000.00; and acquisition of easements approximately $5,000.00. However, Mr McNally explained that if easements could not be acquired on private property and the water line must be constructed within the Department of Transportation right-of--way, the cost would be approximately $50,000.00 It was explained funding would be from the Water Fund reserves and this money would be replaced when bond moneys were received. Mayor Fletcher presented in full, in writing, Resolution No. 95-47 to transfer $55,000.00 from the Water Fund reserves for emergency water main replacement on Mayport Road. Further discussion ensued regarding the cost of the project and Mayor Fletcher moved to amend the Resolution to provide for the transfer of $27,000.00 for the installation of a water main on Mayport Road, with the understanding that this money would be returned to the reserves when bond money was received; also that staff would come back to the City Commission if additional funding was needed for right-of--way acquisition. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Shaughnessy and carried on a vote of 4 - 1 with Commissioner Rosenbloom voting nay. The M17ayor then moved for adoption of Resolution No. 95-47 as amended. The motion w•as seconded by Commissioner Shaughnessy and was unanimously approved. 4. An}' other business Jim Jarboe reported that city staff had met during the summer with representatives of the Department of Environmental Protection regarding the problems the city had experienced with the sewer system in Saltair subdivision and felt that the problem had been resolved to the satisfaction of DEP. Since then the city had received a letter from DEP and it appeared that a Consent Order may be issued which would include penalties if certain improvements were not made. He indicated he would provide Commissioners with a copy of such Consent Order, when received. Mr Jarboe also reported that the Coast Guard wished to construct a sewer line between Mayport Landing and the Coast Guard Station in Mayport The installation of such a line would provide some new customers for the city. A meeting had been scheduled for the following week with the Coast Guard and some of the business owners in the area and he would report back to the Commission in this regard. Commissioner 1leserve requested that Rep. Fowler be advised of this development since she had expressed an interest in this area for some time. Commissioner Rosenbloom reported he had attended the bond validation hearings and was appalled and disappoimed at the comments made at those hearings by Alan Potter. Pagc 7\ao Minutes of Special Called Meeting December 27, 1995 Commissioner Meserve moved to offer Mr. Jarboe aone-year contract as City Manager, salary to be negotiated at a subsequent meeting, and defer any kind of decision on a further search for that year. In further discussion, it was felt that Mr. Jarboe's knowledge and experience at all levels of government would be an asset to the city and should not be overlooked. Following further discussion, Commissioner Rosenbloom moved to amend the motion to make the contract with Mr. Jarboe effective as of January 1, 1996. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Reed and carried unanimously. Commissioner Rosenbloom then moved that the contract, upon renewal, include options to extend it on a quarterly basis. He felt there needed to be a clear understanding of the role and responsibility of the City Manager. Discussion ensued regarding whether the contract should be on a calendar or fiscal year basis and the City Attorney pointed out that the City Manager served at the pleasure of the City Commission and no ending date would be required since the City Commission could end the contract at any time. Commissioner Meserve indicated he had suggested aone-year contract since this period would take the city through the next budget process and establish a time certain when the relationship between the city and the City Manager would be reviewed to make sure the relationship was satisfactory to both parties. The City Attorney offered to draft a Resolution of agreement, and for comparison purposes, he indicated he would provide the City Commission with a copy of the contract with the former City Manager. Commissioner Rosenbloom withdrew his motion to include the option for quarterly extensions. The Commissioners expressed their opinions regarding the qualities they felt the City Manager should have, and all voiced their confidence in Mr. Jarboe's qualities and capabilities. Following further discussion the question was called on the motion to offer Mr. Jarboe aone-year contract as City Manager and the motion carried unanimously. Mr. Jarboe indicated it would be an honor to serve the city as City Manager. He felt the city had a good staff and he worked well with them, and the City Commission with their diverse backgrounds, had a lot of potential and he looked forward to working with them. 3.

Authorize purchase of vehicles for the Building Official and Code Enforcement OtTicer Building Official Don Ford explained $13,000.00 had been budgeted to purchase each vehicle. The bids received, however, were $815.00 over budget for each vehicle. He explained since the new vehicles would require less maintenance, the additional funds needed for the purchase could betaken from the maintenance budget. Commissioner Rosenbloom moved to approve the purchase of the vehicles for the Budding Official and Code Enforcement OlTicer, as recommended. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Meserve and was unanimously approved. 2. Discussion and necessary action on the search for a City Msnaeer Jim Jarboe, Acting City Manager, reported he had drafted a suggested outline of the process he intended to use in the search for a City Manager and requested input from the City Commission regarding the proposed procedure. Commissioner b7eserve indicated he had given considerable thought to the question of a new City Manager. He presented his thoughts and recommendations to the City Commission in the form of a memorandum dated December 27. 1995, attached hereto as Exhibit A Commissioner Meserve felt in view of the major issues the city would face within the next six months to one year, it was important to have a City Manager who was f'amiliaz with the issues and not tie up the City Commission with another challenge at this time. He suggested offering Mr. Jarboe aone- year contract as City Manager, at a salary to be discussed, during which time the City Commission could assess Mr Jarboe in the position and make a determination, from both sides, whether it would be good for all parties to make the move a permanent one. He indicated in preliminary discussions, Mr. Jarboe had indicated he would be willing to consider such a contract. upon conviction o^ the apc>licant. by th<_ Code Enforcement Boarri for any nuisance violation at the iocatian: and further that he will not wort, on semi-tractor trailer and transmission repairs.

EXHIBIT A ' ~ MINUTES; DECEMBER 11, 1995 - 1 ~~ Sunday, December 3, 1995 The Times-Union Bonds can'be confusing I bought some mortgage . bonds recently. The first sta went I received showed a loss. I'd like to know why there was a ]azge loss at the time of purchase. Also, what makes bonds fluctuate up and down? A ~ If you're confused about . bonds, join the crowd. For the average investor, bonds aze probably the most misunder- stood and confusing of all investments. But for those who know what they're doing, bonds can offer excellent investment opportunities. Example: U.S. Treasury bonds have yielded a 35-percent return over the past year. Your loss is probably the up- front price you paid to buy the bonds. When you buy or sell stocks, you typically pay a bro- kerage commission. That's not . the case with bonds, notes Steve Rosenbloom, chief investment officer of Florida Physicians Insurance Co. Insurance wmpa- nies are big bond buyers. When you buv bonds, the com- mission is never shown. It's buried in the difference between the bid (price a buyer is willing to pay) and ask (amount a seller is willing to accept). accordin¢ to Rosenbloom. Say a bond you bought yields 7 per- cent in its first yeaz. If you decide to sell in the first'year, you subtract the 3-percent com- mission to give a yield of just 4 percent. R'hy do bonds fluctuate? In two words: interest rates. Or the expectation about which direc- tion they may be heading. If investors think interest rates are going to fall, as they do now, then the price of bonds goes up. That's because existing bonds are paying a higher rate. Conversely, if rates aze expected to rise, then the price of existing bonds falls. Minutes, Page 11 whether the Commission had acted legally. Conunissioner Reed referred to newspaper articles regarding an upcoming Spring jam scheduled to take place in Jacksonville.

He opened the floor for a public hearing and invited comments from the audience.

It was explained the ordinance left some leeway for existing businesses that were situated on oddly shaped lots which might lose some parking area if the law was strictly enforced Peter Sapia felt the ordinance might inhibit future commercial development. Hope Van Nortwick indicated the proposed ordinance was patterned after the City of Jacksonville ordinance. Since no one wished to speak further the Mayor closed the public hearing.

Mayor Fletcher presented in full, in writing, Ordinance No. 95-95-64, said ordinance having been posted in accordance with Charter requirements. The Mayor opened the floor for a public hearing and invited comments from the audience. Jim Lucas, Chairman of the Tree Ordinance Committee, explained prior attempts to revise and change the existing Tree Ordinance had been unsuccessful. Some time ago the Commission appointed volunteers to examine the existing ordinance, define the problems, determine what needed to be clarified, and, if it was determined something was missing from the ordinance, to clarify and expand the language. He further explained the intent of the proposed ordinance was to clarify the intent of the ordinance that was already in effect. He explained homeowners who desired to remove a tree from their lot and who did not require a building permit would be exempt from the requirements of the ordinance, but homeowners who required a building permit over $10,000 would not be exempt. Mike Borno, 223 Ocean Forest Drive North., indicated he had prepared a lengthy document containing suggestiorES and modifications to the proposed ordinance. He suggested that a workshop be held to reline the language. Kelly Elmore, 1160 Beach Avenue, explained he was a landscape architect and that he had assisted the City of Jacksonville in the preparation of its tree ordinance.

Action on proposal from Gee & Jensen Engineers- Architects-Planners, Inc., for professional services in connection with Public Safety Building Remodeling and Addition David Thompson, Chief of Police, explained that for the 1995-96 budget, $237,000 was identified to make the necessary improvements for Police and Fire operations. The Commission at a previous meeting authorized staffto negotiate with Gee and Jenson to determine fees for their services which, together with the estimate cost of coneruction, totaled $282,190. This exceeded the budgeted figure by a significant amount, Chief Thompson explained. Chief Thompson recommended another option available to the City that had the potential to reduce costs and accomplish the proposed building construction. He explained this was generally referred to as a "Design/Build" concept, which was the combination of architectural/engineering services with the contracting work. The City would bid the project to include the design work as well as the construction, and the necessity for contracting sepazately with an architect would be eliminated. It was explained at the present time there was no signed contract with Gee and Jenson. Motion: Defer action and authorize staff to devebp and advertise bids for the design and construction of the Public Safety Building Improvements and E:panaion It was suggested that the Building Official have someone to assist with inspection of the work so that construction could be monitored closely. Commissioner Meserve cautioned staffto craft language of the contract very carefully so that the contractor would know his exact responsibilities.
