2. Courtesy of the Floor to Visitors.
Mayor Borno opened the Courtesy of the Floor to Visitors. He welcomed the audience and explained the
process for public comments.
A. Proclamation Declaring May 2012 as "Civility Month".
Mayor Borno explained this Proclamation was to declare May 2012 as Civility Month but he would not read
it because there was no one here from the organization that requested that we do this.
Phyllis Davis, 82 Forrestal Circle S., addressed the Commission speaking in opposition to Agenda Item 8A
due to safety and asked if cars would be allowed to park on the street. She also asked if they would be
allowed flashing signs. She asked how she could look up the law regarding the commercial zoning change
which was approved in 1985, stating she was never notified even though she lived on that Circle at that time.
She stated she believes everybody in that Circle should have been notified by letter about the beauty salon
being put there and recommends in the future they send everybody on the Circle a letter notifying them of
what is going on. She asked again how she goes about looking back to 1985 to see the amendments made to
turn this from residential to commercial because she wants to see if it was legal.
Chris Hionides, 47 11 Street, addressed the Commission regarding the proposed new police station. He
stated we all know the City needs a new, more efficient police station but when the citizens heard about the
cost of the building everybody was very concerned. He stated he was also concerned and he approached the
City Manager to see if they had considered alternative sites for the police station. He was told they had not
and so he proposed an alternative site with a draft concept from his architect of a new police station on 2 1 /2
acres on Mayport Road, which he submitted to the City. He stated he was then told a committee was formed
May 14, 2012 REGULAR COMMISSION MEETING Page 2
to investigate the police station. He asked that the committee get his rough conceptual drawing but he did not
hear anything. H asked what was going on and was told that the committee had decided that the building was
going to stay where it is. He stated he believes for the committee to make an informed decision, they should
look at alternatives that exist out there and need to be presented with the positives and negatives of each
proposal. He stated the cons of the current site and explained that the City could obtain 2.6 acres, a brand
new police station, one -story with new parking at the gateway to Atlantic Beach on Mayport Road, which can
be built for less. He stated that is something he can provide in hard numbers to the committee and the
Commission but they have been ignored. He stated that is why he is here today; he is frustrated. He stated
when you form a committee to investigate alternatives for a police station they should be open to everybody
to present their ideas. He distributed rough drawing of the pluses and minuses of the two sites to the
Commission.
No one else from the audience spoke so Mayor Borno closed the Courtesy of the Floor to Visitors.
3. Unfinished Business from Previous Meeting
A. City Manager's Follow -up Report.
None.
4. Consent Agenda
ALL MATTERS LISTED UNDER THE CONSENT AGENDA ARE CONSIDERED TO BE ROUTINE BY
THE CITY COMMISSION AND WILL BE ENACTED BY ONE MOTION IN THE FORM LISTED
BELOW. THERE WILL BE NO SEPARATE DISCUSSION OF THESE ITEMS. IF DISCUSSION IS
DESIRED, THAT ITEM WILL BE REMOVED FROM THE CONSENT AGENDA AND WILL BE
CONSIDERED SEPARATELY. SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION AND STAFF
RECOMMENDATIONS HAVE BEEN PREVIOUSLY SUBMITTED TO THE CITY COMMISSION ON
THESE ITEMS.
A. Acknowledge receipt of the Building Department Monthly Activity Report, Utility Sales Report and
the New Business Tax Receipts for April 2012.
B. Declare this list of property as surplus so that it may be disposed of in the most beneficial way to the
City.
C. Extend the contract with Shaw's Tree Service, LLC for palm tree trimming of the Atlantic Boulevard
Medians, Mayport Road Flyover areas, Town Center, Mayport Road Medians and several park areas
for one year at the current contract prices.
Mayor Borno read the Consent Agenda.
Commissioner Daugherty pulled Item C; Commissioner Beckenbach pulled Item A; City Manager Hanson
pulled Item B.
Commissioner Daugherty pointed out that this is what we are doing with a lot of our contracts and he would
like to see an effort from staff to renegotiate these contracts to get a lower price. City Manager Hanson
explained this is the same contractor we have had since 2006 and we rebid it in 2010. He stated this
contractor bid the same prices in 2010. He stated he understands Commissioner Daugherty's comments and
they have bid a lot more of these regularly. He stated it is simply a matter of time; we have to not do other
things if we bid every contract every year. He stated it didn't seem like it made any sense to invest that extra
time in this particular case. Commissioner Daugherty stated he understands there is a cost in sending things
out to bid; however, there is no cost in asking for a lower price. He stated it looks to him that there was no
effort made to get a lower price. City Manager Hanson stated on this he told staff not to do that. He stated he
Mav 14.2012 REGULAR COMM ISSION MEETING Page 3
believes that is unethical. He stated if we are going to open it up for other contractors, we have to give
everybody the same chance, but to just call them up and say lower your price and we will give you the
business, he has heartburn with. He stated in private industry you can do that, but in public business he
believes if you give someone an opportunity, you need to give the same opportunity to everyone. He stated
this was originally bid with our intent for it to be extended two more years.
Commissioner Beckenbach questioned the amount under Permit Type, Other, YTD amount (Building
Department Monthly Activity Report) which went from $1,161,784 to $4,543,714 and asked what the Other
was. Mike Griffin explained the Others are mostly renovations and reworks and it was probably due to LA
Fitness, which was a $3 million project. Discussion ensued regarding LA Fitness and the extension on the
roof, which Commissioner Beckenbach had received an inquiry on. City Manager Hanson stated if the
person questioning it would contact the City we could give them a copy of the drawing.
City Manager Jim Hanson explained the list of surplus property that went out with the agenda was for just
one vehicle and in past years staff would have waited until just before the annual auction with Jacksonville
Beach to put a list of vehicles and other big equipment for the Commission's approval. He stated, however,
with trying to sell more of these vehicles on the internet, which keeps the vehicles sitting for less time at
Public Works, they are selling them as soon as they surplus them, which brings them before the Commission
one or two at a time. He stated they now have another truck to be declared surplus and asked that the
Commission substitute this new list (which is attached and made part of this Official Record as
Attachment A) rather than wait until the next Commission meeting, so they can sell them online at the same
time.
Motion: Amend Item 411 to include the two vehicles listed.

Motion: Approve Resolution No. 12-10 as read.
Moved by Daugherty, Seconded by Beckenbach
City Manager Hanson explained this is to formally adopt the official Stormwater Master Plan Update.
Commissioner Daugherty requested that, in the future, the supporting material on the Master Plan be attached to
the agenda packet. City Manager Hanson stated they could attach the executive summary but the master plan
would be too large to be attached. Commissioner Woods asked that a link to the master plan be included on our
web page. City Manager Hanson stated that is a lot of capacity to keep on the FTP site long -term, but they could
put the executive summary there. Mayor Borno agreed they could put the executive summary there; in case
people had a question they would know where to come ask for it. City Clerk Bartle stated they could indicate
where people could get a copy of the master plan if they were interested in it.

8. Miscellaneous Business
A. PUBLIC HEARING for UBEX -12- 00100012, request from Alice Reeves for a use -by- exception to
operate a beauty salon establishment, as is consistent with Section 24- 109(d)(4) of the Land Development
Regulations, within the Commercial, Professional Office (CPO) Zoning District on a property located at 90
Forrestal Circle South.
Motion: Approve UBEX -12- 00100012, request for use -by- exception to allow the operation of a beauty
salon establishment as is consistent with Section 24- 109(d)(4) of the Land Development Regulations,
May 14, 2012 REGULAR COMMISSION MEETING Page 5
within the Commercial Professional Office (CPO) Zoning District on a property located at 90 Forrestal
Circle South, subiect to compliance with all applicable commercial development standards.
Moved by Woods, Seconded by Daugherty
Building Official Mike Griffin explained the use -by- exception. He showed slides of the property stating the
applicant, Alice Reeves, and her representative, Jim Elliot with Watson Realty, were here tonight if they had
questions. Mayor Borno addressed the concerns discussed during Courtesy of the Floor to Visitors by Ms.
Davis and Mr. Griffin explained each concern. Mr. Griffin answered several questions from the Commission.
Discussion ensued.
There was further discussion regarding the buffer required between the adjacent properties. City Manager
Hanson stated, in this case, the City would be considering that commercial use incompatible from the
residential use behind it even though they are in the same zone. Mr. Griffin agreed they will do that.
Commissioner Woods expressed concern regarding the parking. Mr. Griffin explained the parking was
calculated based upon the square footage of the building and if they want to add another parking space they
can do that, as part of the use -by- exception. Further discussion ensued.
City Manager Hanson stated regarding the question from Ms. Davis regarding how she can find out about the
zoning amendment from the 1980s, the minutes are online and he suggested she come to the City Clerk's
office and they can help show her the minutes or make copies of whatever she might want.
Commissioner Daugherty agreed with Ms. Davis that the neighbors should be notified if something is
happening there and believes the small signs should be addressed. Mr. Griffin stated it is in our City Code for
sign applications such as rezonings to notify people within 150 feet of the property but not for use -by-
exceptions. He stated they would have to amend the Code. Commissioner Daugherty asked that they put that
on a "to do" list. City Manager Hanson stated he will get a report to the Commission at the next meeting as
to what the Code says about notifications. Commissioner Woods stated some communities have put the
responsibility on the applicant to notify the neighbors by mail of what is going on.
Mayor Bomo opened the Public Hearing.
Greg Selby, 3 Forrestal Circle North, stated he was against this because it is a residential area. He stated it
should not be used for anything at all other than residential property, even though it is zoned commercial. He
stated it is ridiculous, it has always been residential. He stated there are plenty of places down Mayport
Road, with businesses closed up, that they could open a beauty salon in.
Jim Elliott, Watson Realty, representing Ms. Reeves, stated he can understand the neighbors' concerns but
those homes along Mayport Road are zoned for the commercial use and there are a lot of businesses that
would not need an exception that would put a much larger impact on the neighborhood than something like a
salon. He stated they are concerned about safety and they do want to have a 10 ft. buffer to the homes being
used as residential. He stated they plan to meet all the shrubbery requirements. He stated the home is in
short sale and it looks rather bad and they are proposing to put a business here and make the neighborhood
nice again and follow all of the recommendations of the township, including the amount of parking that is
required. He stated they are open to suggestions, whatever works well and looks good for the neighborhood
is what they would like to do. He stated they want to be a good neighbor to people there and they want their
business. He stated, regarding signs, they know there are no flashing signs here and they don't want a sign
flashing in someone's bedroom window even if it was allowed. He stated they want to fit into the
neighborhood as best they can. City Attorney Jensen asked him who owns the property. Mr. Elliott stated
the property is really owned by the bank at this point. Mr. Jensen asked if he has authorization from the bank.
Mav 14.2012 _ REGULAR COMMISSION MEETING Page 6
Mr. Elliott stated they got a notarized affidavit on the seller's behalf to be able to come here and represent the
property in front of you for that reason. Mr. Jensen asked if that was the Mabrys. Mr. Elliott stated that was
correct. Mr. Jensen stated he thought the bank owned the property. Mr. Elliott stated at this point the sellers
are paying on it and, technically, the bank doesn't own it until they complete the short sale. Mr. Jensen asked
if the title was still in the Mabrys' name. Mr. Elliott stated that was correct.
Commissioner Daugherty asked if the sale was contingent on approval of this use -by- exception. Mr. Elliott
stated yes. Commissioner Daugherty stated his concern is what they are going to do to the building itself and
how the business is going to be presented.
Commissioner Beckenbach expressed concern about the parking. Mr. Elliott addressed his concern and
Mayor Borno reiterated that Mr. Griffm had previously explained it would be in accordance with the Code
regarding the parking requirements. Mr. Griffin further explained one space is required for every 400 s.f. of
the building, which is where they came up with three spaces. He stated again that as a use -by- exception you
can negotiate.
Alice Reeves, 975 Wilderland Drive, Jacksonville, stated she will comply with all the regulations of the
City and she will respect whatever they decide in order for her to have the use -by- exception. She stated she
will make it look prettier and more upscale. She answered several questions from the Commission.
Mayor Borno stated he believes the Community Development Board determined the parking met the
pervious /impervious requirements. Mr. Griffm stated, according to our City Code it will have to be an
impervious parking lot and will require paving and a stabilized parking surface.
No one else from the audience spoke so he closed the Public Hearing.
Commissioner Woods stated she does not believe three parking spaces will be enough and asked for input
from the rest of the Commission. Discussion ensued regarding the parking and it was agreed to amend the
motion to increase the parking to 8 parking spaces plus one handicap space.
Motion: Amend to increase narking to 8 parking spaces plus one handicap space.

C. Gym Memberships for Police Officers.
Chief Mike Classey summarized his staff report stating he is asking for approval of the revised policy and
authorization to expend the forfeiture funds in this manner.
Motion: Approve the revised policy of providing up to $25 /month in reimbursements for gym
memberships for police officers.
Moved by Woods, Seconded by Beckenbach
Answering several questions from Commissioner Beckenbach, Chief Classey explained the officers must
prove membership payment and submit to the Department, quarterly, their usage records and if they don't
maintain the usage rate of at least 8 times per month they would lose their stipend. He further explained the
FDLE has a basic fitness standard that all police officers in the State must meet. He stated the City of
Atlantic Beach does that testing upon initial employment, but at this time, they do not have an ongoing
physical standard testing in place. He further stressed this is not paid with citizens' money, it is paid from the
forfeiture funds, money taken from our local drug dealers.
Commissioner Daugherty explained why he is not in favor of this expenditure, which is an increase from $8
to $25. He also stated he would like to look at the continuous evaluation of physical fitness for officers.
Discussion ensued. Commissioner Daugherty reiterated if we are giving gym memberships to officers he
believes there should be some accountability. He stated he believes there should be some sort of evaluation
and physical fitness requirements for the officers. Mayor Borno stated that is beyond what they are being
asked to do now, which is to fund it. He stated if he wants to address that they can ask for a recommendation
back from the Police Department on such a program, but he believes that is a separate issue. Further
discussion ensued.

9. City Manager
A. City Manager's Report.
City Manager Jim Hanson reported on the amendments to the voting district boundaries based on the 2010
census. He explained the Supervisor of Elections has indicated they want to have their voting precincts lined
up with Atlantic Beach's voting districts which means that the voters who have their districts changed will
have to vote in a different location in the future. He stated he is requesting a consensus from the Commission
Mav 14.2012 REGULAR COM MISSION MEETING Pate 8
on how to proceed and staff will bring back a proposal. Discussion ensued with each Commissioner sharing
their ideas and explaining what they would like to see. City Manager Hanson stated what he heard was that
the general consensus would be to move the Donner neighborhood into Commissioner Mark's district that
includes Jordan and then make the minim changes to balance out so each district is within 5 %. He stated he
will bring that back to the Commission with a map that should do that. He stated this will require an
ordinance change and a public hearing and public notice. Commissioner Woods stated in addition to that she
believes more of old Atlantic Beach needs to be in the F and G districts because there are neighborhoods in
Selva that are more similar to Oceanwalk. City Manager Hanson stated the reason is the census blocks and
explained that one block along the ocean is one census block and can't be broken. Discussion ensued.
City Manager Hanson also reported on decorative crosswalks and distributed a copy of Crosswalk Options
(which is attached and made part of this Official Record as Attachment B) to the Commission. He stated
staff called FDOT and they said they are no longer paying for these types of projects. He stated FDOT said
cities can put them in as long as they use the same specifications and as long as the cities maintain them in the
future. He stated his recommendation would be to discuss these in connection with the upcoming budget.
Commissioner Daugherty suggested a partnership with Neptune Beach for the crosswalks on Atlantic Blvd.
Commissioner Woods asked if there were any statistics on the effects these crosswalks have had in Neptune
Beach. Chief Classey stated it would just be a matter of asking them. Discussion ensued regarding the
various crosswalks. Commissioner Daugherty stated he would also like to add a crosswalk at Royal Palms
crossing Atlantic.
City Manager Hanson reported on the latest alcohol deployment stating the Police Department checked 27
locations, and 5 businesses, BP on Atlantic, Joseph's Pizza, Culhanes, Outback Pub and North St. Bistro, sold
to minors.
City Manager Hanson announced the next Commission meeting will be held on Tuesday, May 29, due to the
Memorial Day holiday.
10. Reports and /or requests from City Commissioners and City Attorney
A. Appointment of new member to Board Member Review Committee.
Mayor Borno stated his recommendation was Glen Fisher and explained his reasons for the selection.
Motion: Appoint Glen Fisher to the Board Member Review Committee.
Moved by Borno, Seconded by Daugherty
Commissioner Woods stated her objection was that he has already served on the Committee and as
they are looking to expand citizen involvement she believes it would be more appropriate to have
someone new on the Committee.
Commissioner Beckenbach stated Glen Fisher was asked to put his name in while the other applicants
put their names in. He stated looking at the other three, he believes one of the three would be more to
his liking instead of getting somebody who already served.

B. Proposed Conflict of Interest language.
City Attorney Jensen stated they have his suggested language to include with future committee
appointments and he is open to changes they may want. He stated he didn't hear from anyone about
any changes.
Mayor Borno stated he would like to recommend, if there is a consensus, to put this second paragraph
regarding conflict of interest on the new applications for members who are volunteering for the
boards.
Commissioner Woods suggested addressing conflicts that arise while they are on the committee. She
believes it should state that they should disclose those conflicts as soon as they arise.
City Attorney Jensen stated he will bring this back with the suggested additional language.
C. Carbon footprint report.
Commissioner Woods stated the City does a lot to chip away at our carbon footprint, which a lot of citizens
are not aware we are doing. She stated she believes it would be nice to have some kind of running report on
our website where people could see what we are doing. She suggested we start off simple with the things we
have done that will help with our electric usage, and then get more information out there as we can. She
further explained what she envisions.
City Manager Hanson congratulated Commissioner Woods for bringing this up prior to the meeting and he
would like the other Commissioners to do this when something comes up. He stated so often at the end of the
meeting when someone brings something up and it is the first time they have heard it and staff doesn't have a
chance to consider how much work it will be. He stated from what Commissioner Woods said, if they can
keep it simple, staff can put together a quick article about the things we do in less than an hour.
It was the consensus of the Commission to have staff prepare a bulleted list report.
Commissioner Daugherty
• JTA is looking at the old Sonic Drive -in as a possible transfer facility because they haven't been able
to work out anything with Equity One. He stated he would like to speak with them about keeping it in
our City for the convenience of our citizens.
May 14, 2012 REGULAR COMMISSION MEETING Page 10
Concerned that we don't have a physical fitness review for our police officers. He would like to get a
report of some measures we could take to ensure our police officers are taking care of themselves. He
stated it is a liability for the City if they don't.
Commissioner Beckenbach
Suggested forming a global warming task force, stating he has had a number of individuals contact
him. He stated the next meeting is on Tuesday and he believes Commissioner Woods will not be
here, so he will bring up a request for a task force at the following meeting for consideration by the
Commission. He stated it will be a small task force having to do with global warming. He stated the
individual he is considering being a part of it is a hydrologist who could come back and talk to the
Commission, along with the Committee, with a report maybe one time per year and not take any of
the time of the staff. He stated the goal would be to give the City and Commission the opportunity to
know what is available out there and what is happening as far as global warming.
Concerned about use -by- exceptions when the people in the neighborhood don't know what is going
on. He believes people don't get upset if they are told what is going on and he would like to work
something out so if there is a use -by- exception, they get the information out to the local individuals in
that particular residential neighborhood.
Commissioner Mark
• Representative Adkins is holding an educational summit tomorrow at the Florida Times Union from
3:00 -5:00.
• She was approached by Tom Larson of the Sierra Club who wanted to put together a summit for all of
the beach communities. He stated while they are thinking of Commissioner Beckenbach's task force
they may want to expand this working group to include Neptune Beach and Jacksonville Beach with
the thought of holding some kind of climate change summit.
• Asked the Commission if they had been contacted regarding naming the beaches San Pablo Island.
She stated she was contacted last week by Phyllis Tousey asking if, as a Commissioner, she would
support their efforts. She stated if they support this idea of naming the island they may want to think
about passing a resolution for that support. Commissioner Woods stated we did pass a resolution
when Neil McGuiness was helping spearhead this whole drive and he came before the Commission
and they adopted a resolution. She stated that doesn't mean they can't readopt it or adopt another one.
City Clerk Bartle stated she would need to confirm the resolution was passed. Discussion ensued.
Commissioner Woods
Stated the last time she spoke with Neil McGuiness about the renaming he said the federal
government would be calling representatives from the different local governments to see if they were
onboard with this project, so apparently there is quite a process you need to go through to officially
name the island.
Regarding Mr. Hionides' comments tonight about other options for the police building, she stated she
agrees that the police building committee has not looked at other sites and stated, until the committee
has taken the initiative to look at all the properties and the new real estate picture in Atlantic Beach,
she does not believe they have delved into this issue enough for the Commission to have enough
information to make a final decision. Commissioner Daugherty stated he sat with Mr. Hionides and
the City Manager and it is his understanding that that option was given to the Police Building
Committee. He stated he wants to stay out of trying to guide the committee. The City Manager stated
that option was forwarded to the committee and he was told by Chief Classey the committee voted
unanimously not to hear his presentation because they had a concern that the location was not a good
one for the police building. He asked Chief Classey if that was correct. Chief Classey stated yes.
May 14, 2012 REGULAR COMMISSION MEETING Paze 11
Mayor Borno stated he heard from the committee that they had reached a decision and are in the
process of writing their report and will be delivering it to the Commission. Commissioner Woods
stated she does not believe asking the committee to look at all the available options is guiding them or
that her request that they look at the market as it exists today is guiding them; she believes it is more
asking them to do the research so we know we have looked at all of the information and feel
comfortable making a decision.
Will not be at the meeting on May 29. She asked that Commissioner Mark switch the invocation with
her. She stated also that if Donna Kaluzniak comes back and reports it is a good idea to go ahead and
include those water projects at this time, she is all for it.
Mayor Borno
• Reported there are currently seven sea turtle nests in Atlantic and Neptune Beaches.
• MDA lock -up raised over $60,000. Thanked Kathleen Bailey and Chuck Adams from the Beaches
Leader for their reporting of the event. He also congratulated Chuck on his announcement of his
upcoming marriage.
• Regarding the alternate site for the police building he has met with Mr. Hionides on several occasions
and knows the Police Building Committee has reviewed things and the Commission will hear their
report. He cautioned them to keep in mind the impact and implications, stating if he had property that
was 2 '/2 acres he would be coming in here trying to sell it to you, too.
• Announced the Memorial Day Ceremony will be at 2:00 on Monday, May 28 at Beaches Veterans
Memorial Park.
• The JTA PR representative is no longer there and he spoke with the new person and filled him in on
what is being looked at and he will follow -up on that. He stated they are working to get the
information on our bus ridership and putting together a presentation for workshops in neighborhoods.
He stated they also discussed the locations available for the transfer facility. Commissioner
Daugherty stated he would like to see the City work together with JTA to provide better service for
our citizens. Mayor Borno agreed, stating they need to get all the parties working together.
Commissioner Daugherty stated the people he spoke to at JTA told him they are going to provide him
with a plan of what they want to do in that area and he will present that to the Commission. Mayor
Borno suggested he do that through the PR people who started this with us and asked him to suggest
that to the group he was speaking to so they can start working with the PR representative.
• Regarding global warming, he stated he gets a lot of information about summits held in the State and
believes this is something that needs to be looked at because they discuss both sides. Tim Gilboy
stated in Section 9 of the Stormwater Master Plan there is some engineering data on this.
Adjournment
There being no further business to come before the Commission, the Mayor declared the meeting adjourned
