Mayor Meserve indicated that the Mayport Road improvements were a
~"` number one priority with the city. He also recounted his efforts to set up a
Neighborhood Watch Program as a deterrent to crime. The Mayor
requested that Mr. Quest make an appointment with him to further discuss
'"' his concerns, and indicated he would also arrange an appointment with
Chief Thompson to discuss crime prevention.
Sally Clemens of 1638 Park Terrace West requested that information be
provided concerning the sculpture placed by the fire station. She indicated
that citizens would like to know the name of the sculptor, the title of the
sculpture, and the cost. Ms. Clemens also commented on an article she
read in U. S. Today titled "Voters Show They Want More Say in Growth
Issues", and indicated that the citizens of Atlantic Beach were not alone
with this concern.
Alan Potter of 374 2"d Street spoke in opposition to the refunding of the
1996 Utility Revenue Bonds (Item 7A) as being a waste of taxpayers'
money to borrow $18.8M, which included 5% costs, to pay off the $17M
currently owed. Mr. Potter stated the city could not make money by
borrowing money and suggested the city pay down the amount owed on the
bonds with surplus funds to retire some of the bonds early. He believed it
,~, was no benefit to the city to give money away to the bond counsel and he
urged the Commissioners to vote against adoption of the bond ordinance.
~„ Mayor Meserve stated that Mr. Potter had expressed his opposition on
several occasions and left the meeting before discussion of the items. The
Mayor assured Mr. Potter and the other audience members that the city
~„ would not consider the bond refunding if there were no savings over the
length of the current and new bond issues.
City Manager Hanson deferred to Finance Director Van Liere for the
explanation. Finance Director Van Liere indicated that with the current
interest rates, the city would realize a net present value savings of $908,000
~. at 5.1 % interest rate. He indicated that the refinancing would reduce the
city's debt service payments by $65,000 per year. He further indicated that
all of the city's costs associated with the issue were included in the savings.
Finance Director Van Liere stated that the city's estimated costs, included
in the savings, were $255,000.
Mayor Meserve recapped Finance Director Van Liere's comments and
pointed out that the debt was not being extended by issuance of the new
bonds, and they would have the same payoff date of 2025 as the current
"' bonds.
J. P. Marchioli of 414 Sherry Drive commented on the following items:
(1) Suggested that additional lighting be considered for the Five Points
~•
November 22, 2004 REGULAR COMMISSION MEETING Pa e 3
Intersection for safety reasons, (2) Suggested that pertinent information
from the city's new Traffic/Parking Ordinance be included in the Tideviews
Newsletter, (3) Suggested that residents who put too much trash curbside
for pick up be charged for the overage from the maximum amount allowed,
and (4) Complimented the city on the layout of the new water bills and the
statistical information included in the bill.
"~" Valerie Britt of 378 Tilefish Court, Jacksonville stated she would like to
speak under Item 10A, and if not allowed to speak, she would distribute a
handout to the Commissioners concerning Johnston Island and the Future
Land Use Map (FLUM).
Commissioner Beaver indicated that he had this item placed on the agenda,
~.
but during the previous week he received information, which addressed his
concerns and no additional discussion was needed. Commissioner Beaver
withdrew Item l0A from the agenda.
Ms. Britt distributed the handout to the Commissioners.

A. City Manager's Follow-up Report
City Manager Hanson commented on each item included in his written
report.
Beach Renourishment Consultant
It was reported that Kevin Bodge of Olsen and Associates had been hired by
the three beach cities to represent them in matters of beach renourishment
for Duval County. He indicated there was a typographical error in the
percentage amount of the $9,000 fee to be paid by Neptune Beach and it
should read 17%, not 27%.
Marshland Ownership
It was reported that most of the marshland located adjacent to the city was
owned by the Buckman Trust.
Commissioner Waters pointed out that the marshes were not public domain
as often thought, and inquired as to what the Buckman Trust could do with
the property.
Discussion of the use of the marshland ensued. The Mayor requested
information concerning the Buckman Trust.

4. Consent Agenda
A. Acknowledge receipt of Monthly Financial Report, Utility Sales
Report and Public Safety Report for October
'~" Commissioner Waters reviewed the statistical data under Reported Crimes
in the Public Safety Report and commented that some categories of crime
were going up. He then requested an explanation of the difference between
a burglary and a larceny. Chief Thompson explained the difference
between the two categories of crime and indicated the department was
working on reducing the number of burglaries. It was reported that the
increase in sexual offenses were related to family matters.
Mayor Meserve inquired concerning the difference between the number of
gallons pumped and the number of gallons billed comparing October of
2003 with October 2004.
City Manager Hanson explained that the reason it had changed so much was
caused by the fact that the meters at the water plants were read once a
month and the individual meters were read for billing in four cycles. He
indicated that on a month-by-month basis the figures were thrown off, but
the four-month average presented a truer picture of what was happening.
Motion: Approve Consent Agenda Item A as presented.

The Mayor read the ordinance by title only.
Motion: Approve Ordinance No. 15-04-10 as amended on final reading.
The Mayor opened the floor for a public hearing.
Alan Potter of 374 Second Street reiterated his previous comments
concerning the proposed bond issue. He reminded the Commissioners that
,~, the present bond issue cost the taxpayers $1,113,000 in fees and the
proposed bond issue included 5% of the total issue or $1M in fees. He
believed that if the city really wanted to save money, it should pay off $1M
~. of the present bonds early.
J.P. Marchioli of 414 Sherry Drive believed the citizens should be
informed in a simple, easy to understand format of all of the costs associated
with the refinancing and how the money will be spent.
No one else spoke and the Mayor closed the public hearing.
City Manager Hanson emphasized that the cost of the bond issue was not
~. 5%. He indicated that the estimated cost for issuance of the bonds was
$250,000 and the money from the 1996 bond issue was spent with the
completion of the Core City Project. City Manager Hanson further stated
~'"" that a listing of how the funds were spent could be obtained from Finance
Director Van Liere's office. He further indicated that the city was
refinancing outstanding debt.
City Manager Hanson informed the Commissioners that the ordinance given
to them included a change to remove a particular onerous provision, which
~" was included in the previous ordinance that to sell equipment valued as low
as $25,000, special permission must be obtained from the bond holders. He
indicated that updated language relative to the sale of used equipment and
disposition of funds derived from the sale were included in the ordinance.
City Manager Hanson further indicated that the minimum savings on the
bond issue that he would be authorized to signoff on December 7, 2004,
would be 3%. It was reported that as of this afternoon, the savings rate of
..
~.
November 22, 2004 REGULAR COMMISSION MEETING Paee 7
the bond market was recalculated at 5.1 %. He indicated that if the net
~" present value of savings were not at least 3% at the time of the sale, the
bonds would not be sold.
°'" Mayor Meserve explained the reasons for financing long-term capital
projects with bonds. He pointed out that if reserve funds were used to pay
down the bonds, the interest gained on the invested funds would be lost over
~' time, and the city would be paying for along-term capital program with
today's dollars, with the burden falling to current residents, while future
residents would get a free ride.
~.
Finance Director Van Liere commented that the city's reserve funds were
,~ earmarked for future proj ects and presently there were more projects than
available funds. He pointed out that if the bonds were paid off from
reserves, the city would be borrowing funds in the future for capital projects.
Commissioner Waters inquired as to what the interest rate should be to
determine if it was worthwhile to refinance the bonds. Jack McWilliams,
~„ whose company Livermore, Freeman and McWilliams, P.A., was chosen
bond counsel for the city explained that today's interest rate was 4.13%,
down from the 5+% previously mentioned. He indicated he wished to
~. address some of the comments made by Mr. Potter. Mr. McWilliams
indicated that the city's Financial Advisor was Dunlap and Associates, and it
was their job in this transaction to represent the city and keep the costs
,~. associated with the transaction as low as possible. He indicated that they
would also work closely with the Underwriter, who is the critical person in
the transaction. Mr. McWilliams explained the process for issuance of the
~• bonds and indicated that all information concerning the sale was available to
the public through the Financial Advisor's office and the Finance Director's
office.
Mr. McWilliams read a hypothetical list of costs of issuance for the bonds
based on the current day's interest rate and indicated the cost would be $2.85
*~ per $1,000 of bonds, which he deemed reasonable due to a competitive
market. Mr. McWilliams stated that the 1996 bonds could not be paid off
early and indicated the bonds could not be called before 2006. It was
~"" pointed out that the principal amount and interest rate would not be known
until the day of the sale, and if the city decided not to refinance the bonds on
that day, there would be no costs to the city.
Discussion of escrow accounts and previous bond refundings ensued.

B. Provisions for discussion related to Bracket Signs within Town
Center and the Central Business District (City Manager)
City Manager Hanson provided background information concerning the
request for bracket signs in Town Center and reported that the City of
Neptune Beach was not interested in revising their sign. ordinance relative to
bracket signs. It was reported that Community Development Director
Doerr's recommendations for bracket signs were sent to the Town Center
Agency for review and they had no comments at this time.
City Manager Hanson further stated that the information was being
presented to the Commission for consideration and if the Commission
~" wished to allow this type of sign, the current sign ordinance would have to
be amended to permit bracket signs in the Central Business District.
'~"" Ms. Doerr explained that the provisions for bracket signs were written with
consistency in appearance and size, and the lighting. She then inquired if the
Commission wished to consider limiting the use of bracket signs to retail and
'~` restaurant uses only. It was pointed out that the Town Center area was
unique and the bracket sign would extend into the right-of--way.
November 22, 2004 REGULAR COMMISSION MEETING Pa e 9
Commissioner Simmons reported that she had attended the meeting of the
'" Town Center Agency when bracket signs were discussed. She indicated that
those present expressed concern that second floor businesses, like those
located above Ocean 60, would also request bracket signs, resulting in
"~" multiple signs blocking each other. Commissioner Simmons stated limiting
bracket signs to retail and restaurant uses could eliminate this concern and a
directory could be used for second floor businesses.
Commissioner Simmons also reported Ukulele, Patina, and Ocean 60 had
already purchased attractive oval signs to hang in front of their businesses,
which she felt would make attractive additions to Town Center.
„~, Commissioner Waters inquired as to the size of the proposed bracket signs
and Ms. Doerr stated that she had set the standard size to be 2 x 3' for
bracket signs. Commissioner Waters requested that all bracket signs be
,~, consistent in size. Commissioner Waters stated he was opposed to marquee
signs and he believed the area would look cluttered if both types of signs
were allowed. He believed only bracket signs should be allowed in Town
~,,, Center.
Commissioner Beaver inquired if the use of bracket signs could be confined
~,~. to Town Center instead of the Central Business District. Discussion of both
areas ensued. Commissioner Beaver stated he really was not in favor of
bracket signs, but agreed that consistency was important. He believed that a
~• single bracket sign would be appropriate and suggested that the marquee
sign be eliminated. He agreed with limiting the signs to retail and restaurant
uses and confirmed this provision would prevent second floor businesses
from hanging bracket signs.
Commissioner Simmons requested consideration be given to the use of the
oval signs already purchased by the businesses mentioned earlier.
By consensus the Commission agreed that the use of bracket signs should be
~" limited to retail and restaurant use only and that the signs should be of a
consistent size not to exceed two-feet in depth and three-feet in width. It
was agreed that the marquee sign would be eliminated from the ordinance.
Mayor Meserve requested that an ordinance be drafted with the listed
changes for consideration at the next Commission Meeting.
C. Report and recommendations for sidewalk construction (City
Manager)
Public Works Director Carper displayed maps of the city indicating the
location of the proposed sidewalks and explained the criteria used to rank
"'~ the locations for sidewalk construction this year. Mr. Carper noted there
November 22, 2004 REGULAR COMMISSION MEETING Paee 10
were two errors on the maps and indicated that the West 9"' Street sidewalk
is a future project and the sidewalk should be shown on Selva Norte, not
Selva Marina Drive.
~,.
Mayor Meserve stated that he had received positive comments concerning
the sidewalk being installed on Plaza. He indicated that he liked the
~ meandering look and requested that it be continued at other locations. Mr.
Carper stated they would continue the look if there was enough right-of-
way.
Commissioner Beaver commented on a recent letter to the Editor of the
Beaches Leader and noted that a good portion of the funds budgeted for
~,, sidewalk construction would be spent for sidewalks constructed in the
Marsh Oaks area of the city.
~ At the request of Commissioner Parsons, Mr. Carper provided detailed
information concerning the grading criteria used to rank the sidewalk
locations with safety being a key consideration.
Discussion of the proposed and approved bike path locations ensued.
Commissioner Waters inquired concerning the bike path overlaying the
sidewalk on Seminole Road, north of 19`h Street. It was noted that the bike
path between 18`h Street and Garden Lane on Seminole Road was on the list
for proposed bike paths but should not have been included on the map. Mr.
Carper stated that the bike path to be constructed next year would run on
Seminole Road from south Garden Lane to Oceanwalk Drive North.
Commissioner Waters inquired as to how it would be constructed and Mr.
~" Carper responded that the sidewalk would be widened to include the bike
path.
'~' Commissioner Parsons expressed concern that shrubbery on the right-of-
way on the west side of Seminole Road between 18`h Street and Saturiba
Drive would block widening of the sidewalk for the bike path.
Motion: Approve sidewalk construction for FY04-OS as recommended
in Public Works Director Career's Staff Report dated November 22,
~'" 2004. (A copy of the Staff Report is attached and made part of this official
record as Attachment B).
