Bartle Recording Secretary Nancy E. Bailey Call to Order/Pledge: Mayor Woods called the meeting to order at 6:30p.m. Commissioner Hill gave the Invocation, followed by the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag. 1. Approval of Minutes A. Approve the minutes of the Commission Meeting of January 26, 2015. B. Approve the minutes of the Joint Workshop of January 26, 2015. Mayor Woods asked ifthere were any conections to the above minutes. There were no corrections, so Mayor Woods stated the minutes will stand as submitted. 2. Courtesy of Floor to Visitors Mayor Woods opened the Courtesy of the Floor to Visitors. She welcomed the audience and explained the process for public comments. Chris Jorgensen, 92 W. 3rd St., stated he has total admiration for the Charter Review Committee and believes they are a guiding force for the City. He also addressed the District Elections, stating having the district representatives elected at large is very similar to having the City as a single district. He stated the individuals from the district should be elected by the district residents themselves and not the City at large because a high voting district can control everything in the City. He further stated citizen petitions should not require 25%. Don Rhoder, 810 Hibiscus St., asked that the Commission have Commissioner Daugherty resign his position. He stated he has broken the law and needs not to be making judgments on the people of Atlantic Beach. He stated he has pictures of him changing tags from his cars, which is taking money from the State of Florida. He stated they need to pressure him to resign his position. No one else from the audience spoke, so Mayor Woods closed the Courtesy of the Floor to Visitors. 3. Unfinished Business from Previous Meetings A. Atlantic Beach Country Club-Acceptance of Utilities for Ownership and Maintenance. Public Utilities Director Donna Kaluzniak stated they have received all of the documents needed and there is no reason, as far as staff is concerned to delay acceptance of the utilities. February 9, 2015 REGULAR COMMISSION MEETING AGENDA ITEM #lA FEBRUARY 23, 2015 Page2 Motion: Accept the water, sewer and reclaimed water infrastructure in the Atlantic Beach Country Club subdivision for ownership and maintenance. Moved by Daugherty, Seconded by Mark Commissioner Beckenbach asked for how long are the prices good that we have established for the reclaimed water. Ms. Kaluzniak stated she believes they would change with the pricing of our other water pricing, which would be for some reason such as a regulatory requirement. She stated it is not a set schedule; it depends on our potential cost. She stated the last rate change we did was related to the TMDL, which she believes was just sewer rates. She stated we can change the rate at any time but there is usually a reason associated with it. She stated the cost for the reclaimed water is related to the cost of potable water at 75%. Discussion ensued. Mr. VanLiere reported there will be an amendment to the master agreement. He stated there was a section that he talked about when they developed the utility rates on a calculation method that was not feasible to perform. He stated they went ahead and adopted our rates based on the market but that section of the master agreement will need to be amended. He stated it has already been written but he needs to get it to the Club to see if they agree to the language then he will bring it back to the Commission. He stated they are proposing to strike out the language on how a rate would be calculated and replace it with the fact that we adopted an ordinance with the rates in it and they would go by those rates. He stated staff met with them about a month ago and they tentatively agreed that the rates we approved were in line with what they expected. Ms. Kaluzniak stated what we are proposing is the bulk rate that the Commission approved earlier, which was for any utilities using a 4" meter or larger, and they are using a 6" meter. Votes: Aye: 5-Beckenbach, Daugherty, Hill, Mark, Woods Nay: 0 MOTION CARRIED B. Release and Settlement Agreement between City of Atlantic Beach and City of Jacksonville resolving all existing disputes between them relating to tipping fees. City Manager VanLiere explained this is the final resolution of our outstanding balance of the tipping fees and the release of any future requirements to pay and also reduction in future rate for the disposal fees of sludge from our sewer plant. He stated upon execution, along with the budget ordinance, we will fund $322,000 as an agreed upon amount to settle the entire outstanding balance. City Attorney Komando explained there is one change on page two, paragraph 5, as indicated in the copy given to the Commission tonight. He stated the prior agreement and the one that was in the agenda packet discuss that the tipping fees beginning June 1, 2014 would be paid for by our hauler contract. He stated that issue was picked up by Jacksonville's Council auditor as they went through and the General Counsel's office called him this morning and asked if we would consider mutual amendments to remove the provision after the words tipping fees, because in the future we may decide to pay it on our own or outside of the hauler contract, and they thought it was cleaner to just delete that language. He stated this is on Jacksonville's agenda tomorrow night for second reading. He stated their process is, after second reading, it will have to go to a committee and after it is passed out of committee, depending on their recommendation, it will be placed February 9, 2015 REGULAR COMMISSION MEETING AGENDA ITEM #lA FEBRUARY 23, 2015 Page3 on the Consent Agenda for third reading, which is when they would adopt it. He stated, potentially, they are looking at two weeks. Motion: Authorize the Mayor to sign the attached Release and Settlement Agreement and authorize the City Manager to pay Jacksonville the amounts due upon this agreement being fully executed by both parties. Moved by Beckenbach, Seconded by Mark Commissioner Mark stated, for the public, she wanted to make sure that we aren't actually dipping into any of our reserve accounts to pay this. Mayor Woods stated we aren't dipping below the 25% mandatory reserve. Mr. VanLiere explained this is the Unrestricted Fund balance ofthe General Fund.

City Manager Van Liere stated the consultant, Mr. Langton, is here to update the Commission on his progress. Michael Langton, Langton Associates, 1300 Oak Haven Road, Jacksonville, gave a report on what they have been doing on the City's behalf since October. He stated he is working with Commander Gualillo to submit some grants in early March to the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program, one for the hardening and shuttering of the current police building and also one for generators and shutters for the EOC. He stated they will be tier 3 projects, which means they get the third priority, and the likelihood isn't great, unless we get another storm in the next year, but is certainly worth the effort. He stated if this comes together in the next few days, he would like to present it on the next agenda on 2/23. He stated, in addition, Mr. Layton is working on the SJR WM cost sharing program. He stated those applications are due March 13 and he would like to get their approval on March 9. He further outlined other opportunities that are coming up.

AGENDA ITEM #lA FEBRUARY 23, 2015 February 9, 2015 REGULAR COMMISSION MEETING PageS Rep01ied he and Jeremy Hubsch have been talking about saving the tree canopy, stating some things the City can do are to designate Atlantic Beach as a Tree City USA through a Proclamation, which would coincide with naming an Arbor Day to coincide with the National Arbor Day; update the Tree Code and prepare Tree Code educational brochures for citizens; grow our own local trees with reuse water on vacant City property; work with some forestry individuals on creating a list of the most suitable places to plant trees; and have a follow-up to the tree canopy analysis. 10.

Major Topic Recommendations AGENDA ITEM# 1B FEBRUARY 23, 2015 Mayor Woods turned the meeting over to Chairman Don Wolfson. Speaking on behalf of the Committee, Mr. Wolfson stated they appreciate the time to share their thoughts and answer questions the Commission may have pertaining to the processes the Committee took and the changes they are recommending. He stated the Committee took each section and considered changes that would be significant or important for the coming years. Mr. Wolfson and the Committee members presented their suggestions and recommendations behind the following major topics: Commissioner Districts and Qualifications with district representation being elected by the district itself; Leasing of City Property, clarifying the use of the property and that the encroachment would not be something that would be long-term or pe1manent, and the utilization of parks for anything other than park use; City Manager appointment, duties and qualifications; City Clerk duties and qualifications; Election Regulations and Canvassing Board; Initiative and Referendum requirements; and recommendations for a Charter Review Committee to be reconvened every 8 years. The Commission gave their input on these issues and asked questions; the members of the Committee answered their questions and further explained each issue as required. Mr. Wolfson stated the Commission will have a challenge on how they want to present this to the City. He stated there are a couple of items that are very important and then there are some other things that are just word shopping, crafting language, etc. for clarification. He suggested they might want to think in terms that the major issues are separate and something of this magnitude be submitted to the City by itself. The following follow-up issues were also addressed. Ms. Clemens requested that the Charter Review Committee's names, addresses, phone numbers and emails be made available so when the next Charter Review Committee meets they can inquire of the living people why they did such. Mr. Wolfson agreed, stating the continuity is important and there will be a few people who will still be here who could be resources for a future Charter Review Committee. Ms. Clemens stated she would also like to have footnotes in our Charter to refer to Florida Statutes as needed. Dr. Carver, Mr. Wolfson, Ms. Leroux and Ms. Carithers also felt the coastal issues should be dealt with in the future. Dr. Tomaski stated the description of the City boundaries don't match our plat and needs to be addressed. He also stated elections are out-of-step with other beach cities and the language related to primary and general elections is a little convoluted. Mayor Woods stated she has been following this idea of a coastal/environmental advisory committee and believes the time has come for the City to put one together. She stated she will be bringing it forward to the Commission in the next few months. Mr. Bomo strongly encouraged citizens to get involved when these things come up. He stated it was an enjoyable exercise for all of them to share their thoughts and work out their issues. Mr. Wolfson thanked the Commission for the opportunity to converse like this. Commissioner Hill thanked the Committee, stating they have done a tremendous amount of work and it shows that they have put a lot of thought into it. He sated it will make the Commission's final decision a whole lot simpler. -2- Adjournment AGENDA ITEM # IB FEBRUARY 23, 2015 There being no further discussion by the City Commission, Mayor Woods declared the meeting adjourned at 6:18p.m. ATTEST Donna L.

Sterling Morton proposed to the Nebraska Board of Agriculture that a special day be set aside for the planting of trees; and Whereas, the holiday, called Arbor Day, was first observed with the planting of more than a million trees in Nebraska; and Whereas, Arbor Day is now observed throughout the nation and the world; and Whereas, trees can reduce the erosion of our precious topsoil by wind and water, lower our heating and cooling costs, moderate the temperature, clean the air, produce oxygen and provide habitat for wildlife; and Whereas, trees are a renewable resource giving us paper, wood for our homes, fuel for our fires and countless other wood products; and Whereas, trees in our city increase property values, enhance the economic vitality of business areas, and beautify our community; and Whereas, trees, wherever they are planted, are a source of joy and spiritual renewal; Now, Therefore, I, Carolyn Woods, by virtue of the authority vested in me as Mayor of the City of Atlantic Beach, Florida, do hereby proclaim April 24th, 2015, as Arbor Day in the City of Atlantic Beach, and I urge all citizens to celebrate Arbor Day and to support efforts to protect our trees and woodlands, and further I urge all citizens to plant and care for trees to gladden the heart and promote the well-being of this and future generations. IN WITNESS WHEREOF I have set my hand and caused the official seal of the City of Atlantic Beach to be affixed this_ day of February 2015. CAROLYN WOODS MAYOR BUILDING DEPT.
