Dick Hilliard, 338 11th St., distributed to the Commission the police report and pictures of the accident he
had when he hit a boulder in the right-of-way that was hanging over the street. He addressed the boulder in
the street stating there seems to be no control over what residents put in the right-of-way in front of their
homes. He stated he would like to see somebody find out what authority the City has over people putting
things on the right-of-way. He stated he was told to get the money from the insurance company and pay his
deductible. He stated he had $900 in damage to his car. He stated the City needs to quit looking the other
way and do something about it.
Chris Jorgensen, 92 W. 3rd St., addressed Tideviews Park, Sunshine Laws, parking for Beach Diner and
thanked Commissioner Stinson for his article in the water bill.

8. Miscellaneous Business (Discussion only)
A. Tideviews Park Improvements Discussion.
City Manager Van Liere stated they are working on improving the park and are suggesting that they bring this
plan to the citizens who live in that area and have them help consider what they might want to put in that
plan. He stated he has discussed with Commissioner Harding holding a meeting on location on a Saturday, so
they could get some input from the community.
Commissioner Harding stated there have been citizens who are concerned they will not have any input and he
agrees they should have a community forum on the site, stating he is more than willing to head that up.
Commissioner Hill stated he believes it is counter-intuitive to add parking to that end of the park; it is a
community-based park. He stated he wants to make sure that doesn't happen without a very in-depth
conversation. He stated he wants to address any safety hazards and make it a usable facility. He stated,
however, any big improvements, he was hoping to do incrementally. He stated he also believes this is a
natural park and not a baseball, soccer, etc. park. He stated he believes it is important they maintain as much
natural feel to it as possible.
Commissioner Waters agreed with Commissioner Hill, stating when they purchased the Bennett property it
was to improve ingress and egress from within the community. She stated there is parking that is
underutilized at the main entrance to Tideviews Park and whatever they can do to direct car traffic to the
existing parking would be beneficial.
Commissioner Stinson asked the City Manager to discuss the cost of $500,000 for development of this area.
Mr. Van Liere stated these improvements are not in the current year's budget. He stated they would have a
community meeting to get ideas and decide on the amenities they would like to have in the park, if any. He
stated the $500,000 is not so much a makeup of a list of projects but an amount of funds that has customarily
been approved in the past by FIND as an upward limit. He stated those funds may or may not become
available to us so we would have to come up with our match for those funds and then go through the budget
process and hope we get FIND funding. He stated this will be a pay as we go and, hopefully, with grant help.
Discussion ensued.
Mayor Reeves agreed that $500,000 is a lot of money and believes they need to have a citizen meeting on
site. He stated he is concerned about the improvements they need to make to the parks, currently.
February 22, 2016 REGULAR COMMISSION MEETING
AGENDA ITEM #1A
MARCH 14,2016
Page 5
Commissioner Stinson asked for an overview of the timeline. City Manager VanLiere stated he was looking
at March 12 or 19 for a community meeting, which could give some time to knock the house down. He
stated regarding the grant, he believes they can outline some ideas, without being exactly specific about what
they are doing. He stated they would hopefully have enough to put in the grant application to get our name
on the list to get some funding. He stated, if not, they can always reapply the next year and try again.
Further discussion ensued.
City Manager stated this item does not need to come back to the next meeting. He stated after they have a
town meeting, then they can come back with some ideas/suggestions.
Commissioner Hill stated they should give staff clear direction to make the site safe.
Commissioner Stinson stated he believes they need to give a clear directive of a target budget. He also stated
based on our Marsh Master Plan, this has to be a natural preserve and park.
Commissioner Harding stated they have already allocated the money to raze the house, make it green space,
remove all the structures and fences and make the property safe. He stated he believes the money they are
speaking of now, in terms of the grant and any future monies that may be allocated, are going to be strictly
dependent upon the plans they get from the community involvement. He stated he isn't sure what they need
to put on the agenda until they decide exactly what it is that they are going to be talking about, at a future
date, trying to accomplish and what kind of plans they are going to put together for the property.
Mayor Reeves stated he would like the City Manager to do a staff report with Chief Deal regarding the safety
out there. He also would like staff to send a notice to all homes in the area regarding the meeting. He
suggested perhaps using the Chiefs sign to announce this meeting.
Mr. VanLiere asked if they want to set Saturday, March 12, as the date, with a back-up date of 19th. Mayor
Reeves asked that the Commission get back to the City Manager on the date. It was the consensus of the
Commission to move this item forward.
B. Consideration of Hen Permits.
Commissioner Hill explained this is mostly driven from a County initiative to look into this issue. He stated
the County has done a permitting experiment to see how this would work and it came out with no major
flaws. He stated he has had citizens asking about this since he has been in office. He stated he would like to
remove the governmental restriction to do this. He stated the challenge is how they do this. He suggested
doing this in an ordinance form through the regular process. He stated he would like to trust the County's test
and move it forward after they answer some of the questions. He stated he would like to have an open
discussion to see if this is something the Commission is interested in and bring an ordinance back later.
Commissioner Waters stated she is in support of this.
City Attorney Komando stated Commissioner Hill had recommended skipping the pilot step and asked, in
drafting an ordinance, if that was the preference of the Commission. He stated the City of Jacksonville has a
training program and asked if that was an aspect they are going to incorporate as well. He also asked how
they would revoke a permit and what is the limit on number of permits.
February 22, 2016 REGULAR COMMISSION MEETING
AGENDA ITEM #1A
MARCH 14, 2016

Mayor Reeves stated he believes the Jacksonville ordinance is done well. He stated he has done some
research on chickens and noted some pros and cons he found in his research. He stated he spoke with the
instructor in Jacksonville who said he could also provide training instruction here for no charge. He
expressed concerns about enforcement.
Commissioner Hill stated his envision of this would be an Ordinance that was extremely heavily weighted
and crafted that would allow the removal of the permit and, in lieu of a long test period, he would like to
make it clear that you could lose your permit for various reasons, which will need to be discussed as they go.
He stated he would not consider this without a training program. He stated the permit fee should recoop any
additional costs it creates bureaucratically for the City. He stated chickens provide one of the best test beds
for a community for viruses/diseases and asked the previous speaker if she knows if there is a test bed for the
new virus sweeping through Central America and in Florida pretty heavily.
Ms. Crain-Orth stated she is not aware if the Zika virus is or not, but stated there are flocks of sentinel
chickens strategically located around the City in undisclosed locations where blood is sampled from them on
a weekly basis. She explained when a chicken is bit by a mosquito that is infected with encephalitis or
similar disease, the antibodies in that chicken go through the roof; and when they test that chicken they can
see that has happened. She stated if a subsequent mosquito bites that chicken and extracts blood, the chicken
doesn't transmit that virus.
Commissioner Stinson stated he would be in favor of a pilot program that limits the number of permits and
believes a training program should be required. He stated the permit revocation process may be much more
complex than they imagine. He stated he believes they should go to Jacksonville and ask what this has cost
them. He stated if they are going to introduce another aspect into the management and enforcement issue for
our police and code enforcement staff, how much of a larger burden will it be, what will it cost to enforce,
etc.
Ms. Crain-Orth explained the way the City of Jacksonville handled this was that the Animal Care and Control
does not respond to calls on chickens; their purview is basically dogs and cats, due to their budget. She stated
written into the ordinance language is, if someone decides they want to surrender their chicken, they can't
surrender it to Animal Care and Control but have to take it to an approved location. She stated Standard Feed
was the approved location named in the Jacksonville Ordinance.
Commissioner Stinson asked what about the people who don't want to get rid of their chickens, but don't
want to take care of them. Ms. Crain-Orth stated that is managed through municipal Code Enforcement.
Discussion ensued.
Ms. Crain-Orth added Neptune Beach is treating a coop as an accessory structure, which she believes may
work in Atlantic Beach as well. She further stated related to enforcement, Jacksonville's is enforced by
complaints. She stated if a neighbor complains, Code Enforcement can visit the backyard on a noticed visit
to ensure that they are abiding by the rules and, if they are not, their permit is subject to be revoked.
Building and Zoning Director Jeremy Hubsch stated they would likely want to add something in the
accessory structure section of the Code for the chicken coops. He stated there is also the issue that they
would not want the coops in the front or side yards and would want to have some standards there as far as
setbacks go. He stated even the Jacksonville Code was put into their Zoning Code and their supplementary
regulations where they put a whole separate section of criteria that if they are not met, code enforcement
action can be taken. He stated we have a supplementary regulation section of our code where we could put
February 22, 2016 REGULAR COMMISSION MEETING
AGENDA ITEM #1A
MARCH 14, 2016
Page7
something specific to backyard chickens in there and create a set of standards including setbacks, which
would require amending our zoning code and would have to go through the Community Development Board.
Mayor Reeves stated he would like to recommend staff check to see if there are any enforcement problems in
Jacksonville. Mr. Hubsch stated he is friends with some Jacksonville staffers who have been dealing with
this Code and will reach out to them to see how it has worked for them.
Further discussion ensued.
It was the consensus of the Commission to direct staff and the City Manager to work with the City Attorney
and the Commission and, once the City Attorney has enough to bring it back, staff will bring it back to the
agenda.
C. Budget Calendar and Strategic Planning.
Mr. Van Liere explained the budget calendar and strategic planning. He stated strategic planning is a long-
tetm vision, which considering how loaded their schedule is, they may or may not want to do every year; it is
not necessary that they do it every year. He stated he could find a facilitator to go through this strategic
planning process again if they want or he could offer to have pre-budget meetings with each of the
Commissioners to get feedback. He stated he needs direction if they want to go through that process.
Commissioner Hill stated rather than a facilitator he would like to see our HR Director and Department Heads
have a strategic planning discussion in an open format. He believes it would be beneficial for the new
Commissioners to get their thoughts and plans out because there is no other opportunity. He stated he would
like to see it facilitated internally and department heads engaged.
Commissioner Waters agreed it is financially unnecessary to do outside strategic planning every year and
seems reasonable to keep some of it in-house.
Commissioner Stinson agreed they do not need an outside facilitator for this process. He believes strategic
planning for a city is a little unique in that this Commission changes its face every two year and the next
Commission may have a much different perspective/direction they would like to take the City. He stated he
doesn't believe it has to be a ten-year plan but believes they do need to have a plan; if they don't have a plan
they will fail without it.
Commissioner Hill clarified he was leaning more toward our HR Director for facilitation because she has
handled things similar to that but if that is not a fit, he is not making that a recommendation.
Commissioner Harding stated he also agrees that an outside facilitator is not necessary; he believes we have
competent staff.
Mayor Reeves discussed the budget, stating one of the Commission's most responsible duties is how the
City's money is being spent. He stated he does not want to see a millage increase; he wants to see a millage
decrease for the citizens, but doesn't want to see a budget that makes somebody lose something if they reduce
the money. He stated he doesn't believe in that type government. He believes they can tweak the current
budget and not take any services away from our citizens.
Commissioner Waters clarified that even with the rollback in place, we still have the lowest millage rate of all
three beaches cities. She agreed it makes sense for each of the departments to present their budgets.
February 22, 2016 REGULAR COMMISSION MEETING
AGENDA ITEM #1A
MARCH 14, 2016
PageS
Commissioner Hill stated the City expects and anticipates a higher level of service so they are not dollar for
dollar the same as every community around them. He stated when you cut the budget to the point where
citizens feel it, they will come and push back in the other direction; it is a balance. You have to make sure
you are not wasting money and he gives current staff a lot of credit. He stated they have made some unique
adjustments as the writer of the budget for many years. He stated they are seeing some savings and he wants
to make sure they are giving clear, big picture directions to staff.
Mayor Reeves agreed with Commissioner Hill, stating every citizen should get the best and everyone who
works for the City works for the citizens. He stated one reason he is so strong about reducing our millage
rate, and Commissioner Waters is correct that we do have the lowest, is that right now with the new
development in Atlantic Beach Country Club it will bring us another $425,000 of new taxes. He stated that
doesn't mean we take that and go out and spend it.
Further discussion ensued.
City Manager Van Liere explained the budget workshop process, stating it has always been the City
Manager's job to propose the budget to the Commission and then have staff give the presentations on the
individual items that are in it. He stated he believes it is important that each of them understand all of the
budget, not just a section of it because the funding sources are very intertwined. He stated the past 2-3 years,
they haven't had a directive to cut taxes or cut the budget. He stated instead they have been trying to rebound
and they finally had some tax revenues to work with and were able to give employees some raises. He stated
he knows that they have an increased thirst for a higher level of service, especially in park maintenance, etc.
He stated it will be a challenge to do more with less revenue but he believes that his task is to put that
proposal together as best he can and present it to the Commission. Discussion ensued.

scheduled March 1 to do a walk-through of the Police Department to get a scope of the project. He stated
they hope to have a GMP (Guaranteed Maximum Price) to the City on March 17 and they will bring it to the

regarding presenting their case. He stated Mr. Hubsch is compiling all of the City's documents which
will be distributed to all parties so they are all working off of the same set of information. He stated at
the point that they have consensus from the people involved as to how much time they need, he will
ask the City Manager and City Clerk to check with the Commission about when they would like to
schedule the hearing.
• Reported Commissioner Stinson initiated a meeting with the City Manager, City Clerk, HR Director
and himself to try to make sure that the Ordinances conform to the job duties of what each department
is doing, specifically about business tax receipts. He stated they are proposing an ordinance that will

come before the Commission, as long as there are no objections, which is why he is bringing it up

are supposed to give two reports a year, one of which they give during the budget meetings, but he has
not seen them give the mid-year report. He stated he spoke with Timmy Johnson and he is having
issues in finding a quorum for the next meeting and they believe that structure needs to be restructured
to allow fewer members to be a quorum. Commissioner Stinson stated one of the things they are
doing now is trying to put together a meeting with the Board Member Review Committee and all the
Chairmen of the various boards to discuss membership, what they need to do to attract membership,
how they can evaluate the members they have, etc.

Board of Directors to represent our City and to give the reports.

between her and the Commissioner and if the Commissioner decides to ask that question on March 8
or ask any other question, then that is when they will find out as a group. He asked if he has a
consensus on that. Commissioner Waters asked Ms. Berry what is a reasonable workload expectation
for her. Ms. Berry stated she would prefer to compile the questions, get the answers and get them all
back to the Commission so they are ready on March 8. She stated the questions that have already been
asked and answered may prompt more questions. Mayor Reeves stated, if they are agreeable, Ms.
Berry will take all the questions that are asked and provide them to everybody before the meeting as

PUBLIC MEETING-CITY COMMISSION COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE
January 23, 2016
IN ATTENDANCE:
Mayor Mitchell Reeves
Commissioner Mitch Harding
Commissioner John Stinson
Commissioner Jimmy Hill
Commissioner Blythe Waters
Mayor Reeves opened the meeting at 3:01 pm on the 23rd of January 2016. Rules of
order were explained to the guests in attendance informing guests that the meeting
was not open for public comment or questions but only a discussion between the
Commission members.
1) Topics
Topics of the Forum were conveyed to the Commission and attendees. The topics
were described as follows:
a. Citizen request for a forum for discussion regarding the Gate
Petroleum proposed development;
b. Cloister Condominium south access gate use and discussion on
possible solutions.
Commissioner Hill was hesitant for the City Commission to facilitate such a meeting
for residents to comment on the Gate Petroleum proposal. Commissioner Hill stated
his belief was regularly scheduled Commission meetings provided an opportunity
for residents to voice concerns about such matters.
Commissioner Waters arrived to the Committee of the Whole meeting at 3:15pm.
Commissioner Harding stated that citizens had requested the forum for an
opportunity to have dialogue with City officials about the proposal.
2) Open Discussion
Mayor Reeves opened discussion about citizen requests for open dialogue with City
officials, detailing the events and comments that precipitated the request at a recent
Town Hall meeting. Commissioner Hill accepted the lead role in facilitating the
forum for citizens to meet to discuss concerns between themselves and for a current
member of the Commission to be in attendance. Commissioner Hill committed to
contacting those requesting the meeting and set a date and venue, and to
AGENDA ITEM #1C
MARCH 14, 2016
communicate these details to the City Clerk for dissemination to the entire
Commission.
Commissioner Stinson opened the discussion of the Cloister south gate matter with
a slide presentation of the original proposed solution reached at a recent citizen
forum on the matter. After Commissioner Stinson completed the presentation,
discussion ensued. Commissioner Hill commented he believed separating "Little"
Plaza from the other areas of concern seemed to make sense in his opinion. There
was consensus within the group to indeed consider "Little" Plaza separately and
make a recommendation to City staff to research parking and other contributing
factors and begin addressing citizen complaints about traffic safety in this area.
Discussion continued regarding the 1Qth Street beach access and the Cloister south
gate use. No clear consensus was reached about possible solutions or direction for
City staff regarding traffic and pedestrian safety, or about the current use of the
Cloister south gate by Cloister residents.
3) Solutions
The group reached a consensus on the request for a resident forum regarding the
Gate Petroleum proposal facilitated by the City. Commissioner Hill accepted the lead
role in facilitating the resident forum.
Direction regarding parking and traffic pedestrian safety was agreed upon. City staff
was to research parking restrictions, street width and feasibility of sidewalk
construction for the area and make a recommendation to the City Commission.
4) Closing Comments
Commissioner Stinson thanked all the members of the City Commission for taking
time on a Saturday afternoon to work on these matters.
Mayor Reeves adjourned the meeting at 4:51 pm.

Also in attendance:
Resident Chris Jorgensen
Mayor Reeves called the meeting to order at 7:00 a.m. in the North Conference
Room of City Hall.
Topic: Atlantic Beach Tree Canopy
1. Discussion between Mayor Reeves and Commissioner Waters was held on the
pros and cons of creating a short-term Atlantic Beach Tree Canopy Committee to
improve and simplify the current Tree Ordinance. Mayor Reeves explained he
would like the Committee to work with City Staff to create a Tree Management and
Planning Program. He stated the program would provide the City with a roadmap
for new tree planning and maintenance of trees in City-owned rights-of-way and
parks. He further stated the Committee would help in getting input from the City's
residents and tree advocates and would promote tree education to builders. He
stated the question is, would this be like the old Tree Board Committee and the
simple answer is, no. He explained what he is proposing is for this to be only a
short-term Committee charged with creating a solid Tree Management and Planning
Program for Atlantic Beach.
Mayor Reeves asked if Commissioner Waters would Chair the Committee of
residents and experts appointed by the Commission. Commissioner Waters shared
a great deal of tree knowledge and offered to give a reply later. Both Mayor Reeves
and Commissioner Waters agreed to move forward and add this to a Commission
meeting agenda for discussion only. They agree this discussion should come at a
later date, once the Commission makes it through some other key pending Atlantic
Beach issues.
The meeting was adjourned at 7:43a.m. by Mayor Reeves.

PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT AT CORNER OF ATLANTIC & AQUATIC
Developer: TriBridge Residential, developer of BluWater Apartments in Jacksonville
Beach (former George Moore Chevrolet property)
Plan of Development: 23 "market-rate" rental townhomes; 2 and 3 story units with 2 car
garages; same architectural and design standards as BluWater.
The existing site contains a layer of household trash and debris that will have to be
removed in order to build the project. The developer intends to work with the Florida
Department of Environmental Protection to enroll the property in the Florida Brownfields
Program. The clean-up of the site will require that the existing trees be removed in order to
correctly remediate the site.
Development will comply with the existing zoning district permitted uses and density, all
of the development standards of the Land Development Code and the 35' height limit. The
project will also comply with Chapter 23 Protection of Trees and Native Vegetation ofthe City
Municipal Code by a combination of re-planting of trees from the City of Atlantic Beach
Recommended Tree List on the developed property and on the Dog Park retention pond along
with purchasing credits from the City of Atlantic Beach tree mitigation fund.
Proposed enhancements to adjacent City Dog Park
JAX\2019348_1
• Conveyance of land to the City of Atlantic Beach for expanded pond and
recreation path (area shown in green on attached aerial) within one year of the
completion of the project. The completion of the project is defined as the point in
time at which the owner has obtained all Certificates of Occupancy for the project
and all required approvals from the various departments that oversee new
construction projects within the City of Atlantic Beach or any governing entity
that has jurisdiction over the project.
As a part of the conveyance of land, the City of Atlantic Beach will agree to sign
and grant the following easements to the developer:
Perpetual Drainage Easement for the right to drain into the modified
retention pond. This easement will include the maintenance of the
pond and include access rights for the owner to the pond and dog park
for maintenance activities.
Easement to reserve the right to utilize the property that was conveyed
to the City of Atlantic Beach to allow for the development to be legal
and conforming to all zoning requirements. The property will not be
considered legal non-conforming upon conveyance.
Any access or utility easements that would be required by the owner or
any governing body that would require such easement.
AMENDED AGENDA ITEM #3B
March 14,2016
• Enlargement of the city owned and maintained retention pond immediately
adjacent to the proposed development site for additional stormwater capacity for
the Aquatic Gardens area of Atlantic Beach. The modifications to the existing
pond will create approximately 3,053 Cubic Yards of additional volume at a water
elevation of 7; of this capacity, approximately one-third of the additional storage
is above and beyond the required capacity for our site.
• As a part of the enlargement of the pond, the existing pedestrian area on the
southern and eastern sides of the pond will be lowered to make them closer to the
normal water level of the pond. The City of Atlantic Beach and the developer
both acknowledge that during a significant rain event, the pond will rise over this
modified pedestrian area to create additional storage volume for the pond.
• The existing maintenance easement around the southern and eastern portion of the
pond will be located within the pedestrian area of the pond as coordinated with
SJRWMD.
• Appropriate grass and tree materials will be planted on the southern and eastern
portions of the pond within the pedestrian area. The pedestrian walkway will be
grass. The developer will work with the City of Atlantic Beach to determine the
correct tree species to plant in this area of the dog park.
• Construction of a 12' by 12' cabana for shade, rain cover, etc. with the existing
footprint of the dog park. The construction of the cabana will be of standard
construction techniques and utilize masonry and wood frame construction.
• All improvements outlined in this document are to be funded by developer.
Additional benefits to City

Construction Easement, or any damage or destruction to the COAB Property caused by

Construction Easement. The Temporary Construction Easement shall automatically terminate
upon the earlier of: (a) completion of construction of the Storm Water Detention Facilities, or (b)
the date which is twenty-four (24) months from the date hereof.
2. Dog Park Closure. In connection with the construction activities of Apartment
Owner on the COAB Property, Apartment Owner shall have the right to close to the public the
dog park and any other publicly accessible areas of the COAB Property for such periods of time
as Apartment Owner shall deem necessary to perform the construction and expansion activities

To the extent the dog park is closed for less than a full calendar month (i.e. the dog park is closes
after the first day of the calendar month or opens before the last day of the calendar month), then
Apartment Owner shall pay to COAB a prorated amount for said calendar month.
3. No Sunday Work. Apartment Owner agrees that, during the term of this
Agreement, it shall not perform, nor permit any of its agents, contractors or employees to
perform, any construction work on the COAB Property which has otherwise been authorized

obligation it is required to perform under this Agreement, the non-defaulting party shall deliver
notice of such failure to the defaulting party. Upon the receipt of such notice, the defaulting party
shall have fifteen (15) days to perform the relevant obligation, or to take substantial steps toward
completion of such obligation and thereafter to diligently complete such obligation. If the
default is performance related, the remaining provisions of this Section 7 shall govern such

faith, commercially reasonable efforts to avoid causing any material adverse effect on the

period, then the non-defaulting party shall have lien rights against the property of the defaulting
party in accordance with the applicable mechanics' and materialman's lien statutes of the State
of Florida. In no event shall either party have the right to terminate the easements created herein
as a result of a default by the other hereunder.

Analysis of Major Variances
In general, the major variances are created when the actual funds received-to-date are
different from the percentage of the budget elapsed-to-date. Highlighted variance explanations
follow:
General Fund revenues show a net positive variance of $2,430,137. Most of this variance
is due to the timing of receipt of ad valorem taxes, the majority of which are received in
December.
Grant Funds reflected a negative variance of $216,664, Grant revenue is reimbursement
based, revenue will begin being collected in February.
Pension Funds reflected significant, negative variances this month, $214,867 and
$346,843, respectively, from the decreased value of investments.

Purchase Two (2) Gorman-Rupp Pumps for the Wastewater Treatment
Plant frotn Hudson Pump & Equipment Associates, Inc . as they are the
sole s ource di s tributor of Gonnan-Rupp pumps.
Kayle Moore, Acting Public Works Director
March 3, 2016
BACKGROUND: In preparation of the F isca l Year 2016 budget, the City's Public Utilities
Department included the cost of heavy machinery needed to properly operate the
Wastewaster Treatment Plant, and uphold the expectations of the Flmida DEP and the St.
Johns River Water Management District.
The City did not s o li cit competitive bids or quotes for thes e items, as Gotman-
Rupp products became the City standard over thirty (30) years ago, and has been used
exclusively ever s ince. This decision was part of the major pumping station rehabilitation
project that the City undet1ook at that time. A single pump manufacturer for the rehab
project was strongly encouraged, and Gorman-Rupp was s e lected .
Parts for new and older models are readi ly available, and they have kept the same
pump design used by the City for decades. Staff is familiar with this brand and can eas ily
perform routine maintenance.
John Collins of J. Collins Engineering Associates has worked on several projects
fbr the City, including the upgrade of the Wastewater Treatment Plant in 20 I 0. He
recommends that the City continue to use Gonnan-Rupp pumps for its wastewater
applications. It is not recommended to interchange brands in any mechanical equipment
appli ca tion, and to ch ange the entire system would be costly. He provided the attached
statement.
BUDGET: We included in the PY20 1 6 Operating Budget the purchase of two (2) Gonnan-
Rupp pumps/motors, to replace the existing machinery. The combined total for
both pumps is $6 1,933.
ATTACHMENTS: Statement f•·om J. Collins Engineering Associates, LLC .
RECOMMENDATION: To approve the purchase Two (2) Gorman-Rupp Pumps in the
amount of$6 1 ,933 from Hudson Pump & Equipment Associates, Inc. as they are
the sole source dis tributor of Gonnan-Rupp pumps.

AGENDA ITEM #7A
MARCH 14,2016
BACKGROUND: In an eff01t to streamline operations of th e Cit y to continua lly do more with
fewer resources, I am propos ing a shift in responsibiliti es of the d ai l y duties of managing th e
Business Tax Receipts from the City C lerk to the City Manager, more specifically to the Finance
Department. In my opinion, the job duties arc better suited for the Finance Department than for the
Clerk 's Office due to the nature of the duties. Reasons for this change are highlighted below:
I. One of the most significant reasons to implement a change is that although the code indicates
that the Clerk's Office is responsible, a significant portion of the work is not supervised by the
C lerk. The zoning approvals, insp ections and the collection of the fee s are all p e rform ed by other
departments. When problems arise, the Clerk has no authority over the persons o utside her
department perfonning the tasks. There should be one person responsible for the total process to
insw·c that the treatment of customers is unifom1 and consistent, the fees are applied conectly and
the inspections are performed timely.
2 . According to the C l erk, the C lerk's Office has been experiencing great difficulty perfotming
thi s function at a front counter, taking up much needed time that s hould be devoted to records
m anagement. The Clerk has r epeated ly brought it to my attention that her Records Clerk has
difficulty working o n record s with the interruptions of the fro nt coun ter. Moving the Business Tax
Receipt function across the hall shou ld alleviate some of this pressure. The Record's Clerk would be
better utilized assisting the City C lerk with public records reques ts and processing records that need
to be scanned and indexed for future reference.
AGENDA ITEM# 7 A
MARCH 14, 2016
3. The Finance Department already processes tax receipt payments, the Building and Planning
Department performs a zoning review and the Building Official coordinates any inspections that
need to be done. The Finance Department has front counter support and is capable of performing the
remaining required procedures of taking the applications and verifying once trained.
4. The software that the Clerk's Office has been using has proven to be troublesome and time
consuming. The software will be upgraded in the near future and will require many hours of
training. By transferring these duties now, the Finance Department will have time to train and
migrate to the new software and unburden the Clerk's Office with this responsibility. Finance
personnel have more resources to go through the conversion and get the programs running smoothly.
They will have the support of the Finance Director and two Accountants and a Billing Specialist.
Having people trained and cross trained should make the process work more efficiently. This will
also mean that the Clerk's Office will never need to spend resources on the City's integrated
software except for requisition input.
5. When there is a critical function in a small department and only the person assigned the task
knows how to perform the task or has time to perform the tasks and that person leaves employment,
it puts the City in a difficult position to recover, especially when the process is complicated and
involves specific software. These types of duties would be better off with a pool of employees that
are familiar with the program.
6. This code revision also removes language that requires the City Clerk to cut off water
services to those businesses that do not pay by January 31st. The City Clerk has never enforced this
section of the code. The business may be closed for non-payment, but utilities may need to remain
on if paid for.
7. This revision of the code also clarifies the dates for half year tax receipts and removes the
provision that asks for hardship consideration before a partial year tax receipt would be given. This
is not a necessary provision when partial year receipts are allowed. Declaring a hardship is very
subjective and difficult to apply.
For these reasons, the transfer of the responsibility of managing the Business Tax Receipts from the
City Clerk to the City Manager or his designee by amending Section 20 of Chapter 20, Article III, of
The Atlantic Beach Code of Ordinances would be in the best interest of the City.

WHEREAS, the City Clerk is currently assigned the duties related to the issuance and
renewal of business tax receipts and is accomplishing this task with the support of a records
clerk; and,
WHEREAS, there are significant records of the City that have not been scanned and
indexed for future reference and increases in public records requests are taking up more time
than in the past; and,
WHEREAS, the City Manager, through the realignment of some other job duties
proposes to perform the duties of the management of the business tax receipts and bring that
function into the Finance Department. The collection of fees is already performed by the
Finance Department and they have front counter support for this function.
WHEREAS, the City Commission now finds that it is in the best interest of the City to
transfer the responsibility of managing the Business Tax Receipts from the City Clerk to the City
Manager or his designee and therefore desires to amend Section 20 of Chapter 20, Article III, of
the Atlantic Beach Code of Ordinances.

AGENDA ITEM: This is a fo rm al r e quest for a bri efi n g by the C ity Ma nager and staff to the
C ity Co01rni ssion o n detailed aspects of the City's Emergency
Management pla n for a ny and all contin gencies or poss ibl e eme rgency

hwTicane season.
SUBMITTED BY: Commissioner John M Stinson ~~
DATE: The 24111 of February 2 01 6
BAC KGROUND: The C ity of Atlantic Beach emergency operation s are covered under C ity
Ordi na nc e Part Il, C hapter 2, Administ1'ation, Artic le VIII , E mergen cy Management, Divisio n II ,
Emergency Management P lan, Section 2 parts 401-409.
Most e mergencies a re unpredi ct able and vary widely in scope, impact and required resp onse.
Causes may be severe weather, infe ctio u s diseases, indus tri a l accidents or s pills, or by intentional
acts. And, when experienced, a n emergency can threat e n public safety, the e nvironme nt,
p roperty, critica l infrastructure, the health of the public and access to li fe saving health ca re.
Preparation, planning, assess ment and practice are essential to e mergency pre paredness.
And , residents of Atlantic Beac h need to unders tand key points of any response plan, in cluding:
1. Th e City utilizes a detailed pla n that is current, assessed and upd a ted a1mually.
2. Identify ing th e Incident Ch ai n ofCommand, includin g selection and training require d.
3. Prefetred me th ods of informa tion di ssemina ti on to & from the public.
4. Specifi c evacuation routes for each uniqu e area of the city.
5. Contingency pl an s in the event evacuation is not p ossible .
6. C ity-wide security in the event a f ull evacuation is impleme nted.
Atlantic Beach has been fortunate to not having experien ced a natura l emergency in decades.
T he beac hes are the fir s t to evacuate if a s torm near s our area and our proximity to NS May port
has the p otential to force emergency response du e to something other than natural causes. And,
in today's uncet1 ain times, it is not unreasonable to contemplate intentiona l ac ts of those w ish ing
to cause harm and fear in c iti zens.
Co nside r~ according to the c mTe nt Atla ntic Beach city plan, when winds reac h a sustain ed rate of
40 MPH in Atlantic Beach, all key empl oyees (including police) relocate across the Intracoastal
Wate rway. If City sta ff is relocatin g, will there b e an entire evacua ti on of the C ity ? How will
security be provided for ou r unoccupied h omes a nd businesses in A tl antic Beach ? How does the
plan provi de for re-entr y and r ecovery operations? Has the current plan been te sted by "in
house" sessions s uch as a ''tab le top" exercise wh ere various scenario s are presented for city
leaders to respond to and th a t vali date the pl a n?

AGENDA ITEM# 8A
MARCH 14, 2016
CITY OF ATLANTIC BEACH
CITY COMMISSION AGENDA ITEM ON EMERGENCY PLANNING
OTHER CONSIDERATIONS: Remember ... "If you fail to plan, then plan to fail" and even
the best response plan, poorly implemented, will magnify the impact of any incident
experienced.
Therefore, it is critical that any response plan be assessed, evaluated and revised to be able to
successfully address any possible emergency. Key elements to consider in assessing these
emergency plans include:
1. Communications -umeliability of wireless services, GETS phones for necessary personnel,
secondmy communications such as HAM radios, satellite phones, radio broadcasts, military &
National Guard, etc.
2. Traffic Management -egress, ingress routes and public safety control points, coordination
with adjacent governmental agencies, citizen knowledge & understanding, other necessary
services, towing & recovery services, up-to-date passes for citizen reentry, etc.
3. Evacuation Action-control points for City traffic and flow patterns into neighboring
communities, security & looting prevention, PSA broadcasts, reentry assessment, etc.
4. Restoration-utility restoration and safety, debris removal, available resources, capital
constraints and disbursements, communication flow between various depmiments & agencies,
citizen assistance with information, complaints, access to insurance adjustors, reliance on citizen
volunteers.
CONCLUSION: A detailed, current, and well understood evacuation plan is a matter oflife
and death. The City of Atlantic Beach Emergency Response Plan has yet to be evaluated and
during an actual emergency is not the time to test the plan.
BUDGET: Time and focus of city personnel to prepare and brief this plan at a workshop, time
and focus of City staff to meet with other team members to evaluate data and make
recommendations.
RECOMMENDATION: Create a team consisting of one junior and one senior member of each
department of the City of Atlantic Beach, working with one member of the current City
Commission to identify required resources necessary for evaluating the current plan. This team
will also select members of the community to assist as emergency case contributors and plan
evaluation. The team would meet monthly until resource identification is complete. The team
would then schedule quarterly table-top exercises to evaluate plan response and effectiveness,
Early table-top exercises would be smaller, localized events with the magnitude of events
building over time to include other communities and response teams. Therefore it is
recommended this effort be undertaken prior to the 2016 hurricane season or as soon as possible
thereafter.

BACKGROUND: In November 2015, The C ity of Atlantic Beach experienced a peak rainfall
event in which numerous homes were floode d , areas of the Cit y were impassable for a period of
time and c iti zens incurred the expen se and inconveni e nce of damage to C ity parks.
At a recent C ity Commission meeting, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
(NOAA) presented C ity officia ls and s ta ff with a review of the ra infall event of Novemb er 20 15.
111 the NOAA presentation, NOAA officials s ta ted this mos t recent event was not an un common
experience for the City of Atlantic Beach and that the C ity h ad experienced such floodin g
perhaps three times within the last 2 0 years, including the most recent event. Further, it appears
the NOAA offic ials believe that events o f this type could prove more fi·e quent in the future .
If the history is correct and the City of Atlantic Beach can expect mo re event s s uch as th e rainfall
event of the 7°' and gth of November 2015 , there are four obvious responses City officia ls could
choose. T hese responses are:
I ) Acc ept th at rainfa ll events capable of overwh elming storm-water management resow-c es
the City has at its dis posal will continue, and ask the c itizens to endure the
inconvenience, cost and disruption su ch events create.
a . T he presenter believes thi s is a n unacceptable response, to subj ect parents and
children to huddle on second floor leve ls of their homes to avoid the influx of
water, the danger of flood ed e lectdcal c ircuits and the lo ss o f private property.
2) Identify areas of Atlanti c Beach that are s ubj ect to flooding and begi n the process of
purchasing residences and businesses located wjthin these flood zones, th ereby requiring
the remaining residents to bear the burden of s uch expense.
a . The presenter believes thi s is a n unaccepta bl e response tor a Ci ty whose purpose
is to provide acceptable levels of service to citizens, including safety, basic
services, and infhtstructure. lt is probab le ch oosing this response wou ld cause
taxp ayers to endure more expense than if the storm-water syste m was improved.
3) Reevaluate the stmm-water management system where it has proven inadequate. Include
as a part of the E mergency Management plan, contingency r esponses s uch as; pumping

CITY COMMISSION AGENDA ITEM ON STORMWATER MANAGEMENT
storm-water storage systems down prior to anticipated heavy rainfall; installation of
tidewater backflow prevention systems to eliminate the impact of high tides preventing
storm-water systems from evacuating sufficiently during a rainfall event; contingencies
for additional pump capacity during a rainfall event; and coordinating with adjacent
communities maintenance, improvements and requests for assistance from State and
Federal agencies for additional resources.
OTHER CONSIDERATIONS: The City ofNeptune Beach is cunently working to make
application to the State of Florida for one million, eight hundred thousand dollars
($1,800,000.00) in assistance to improve their storm-water management system. Although the
City of Neptune Beach has experienced flooding problems at different times and of a different
nature than has the City of Atlantic Beach, it is interesting that the City ofNeptune Beach is
focused on some drainage systems shared with the City of Atlantic Beach.
Can the City of Atlantic Beach partner with our neighbors to improve the entire drainage
system? Do Neptune Beach plans take into consideration the needs of Atlantic Beach since
portions of the drainage system are shared? Should Atlantic Beach reconsider the 50% pervious I
impervious restriction recently relaxed?
CONCLUSION: The City's storm-water management should be prevalent on the minds of
every resident. Florida historically experiences rainfall in amounts not seen in much of the
United States. And the proximity and frequency of tropical storms further increases demands on
the ability to protect residents. This recent event highlights the inadequacies of the storm-water
management system and the cunent emergency response plan in use by the City. A review of the
affected areas and systems is required promptly.
BUDGET: Time, focus and expense of City staff to consult those familiar with such systems
and to describe the cunent storm-water system, evaluate data and make recommendations based
on feedback received from those consulted.
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that City staff prepare a presentation for the City
Commission detailing affected areas of the City and the obstacles to improvements to stmm-
water systems in these affected areas. City staff should also begin meetings and consultations
with anyone familiar with sto1m-water system construction, improvement and contingency
efforts. Results of these meetings including recommendations, justification and expense should
be presented to the City Commission as soon as practical.

route; limited amount of parking for visitors creating further congestion and
safety concems.
The City of Atlantic Beach and our adjacent neighboring communities are the premier beach
destination of northeast Florida and the southeast United States. As the Jacksonville metropolitan
area and sunounding communities continue to experience growth, the demands on our
infrastructure, neighborhoods, public safety and our beach access points will also increase.
OTHER CONSIDERATIONS: Currently Atlantic Beach is experiencing an offseason with
regards to visitors and traffic. Although not one of the more popular spring break destinations,
Atlantic Beach does experience a moderate peak of visitors during the spring break period,
which will begin in a few short weeks. The presenter believes this spring break and the following
summer 2016 period would not be an ideal time frame to introduce changes to traffic patterns and
more confusion to visitors.
Therefore, now is the time to gather necessary data to evaluate traffic flows and forecast the
impact of any changes planned. Key milestones to complete prior to any influx of visitors or
traffic include:
1) Traffic counters should be placed to determine loads during these times of lighter traffic
and visitation.
a. It is recommended counters should be placed at the following areas for a period of
(2) months:
i. ih Street, just east of the ih Street and Beach Ave intersection, in the
offset of Beach Ave but prior to Beach Ave resuming a northerly direction
towards 8th Street and Club Drive.
11. Club Drive between Beach Ave & Ocean Blvd.
111. Plaza between Ocean Blvd. & East Coast Drive.
IV. lOth Street between the beach access and Beach Ave.
b. It is recommended the counters be placed or retained again for a (2) month period
on or about June 2016 in the same areas for additional data gathering.
2) Data should be collected from the counters weekly to fully understand traffic loading and
any increases experienced.
3) Data should be collected twice daily for a one-week period at a midpoint in each time
frame to better understand peak periods of traffic loading.
4) The data collection should begin as soon as practical to facilitate implementing any
changes prior to the summer 2016 season.
5) A traffic engineer isn't required, the changes to parking and residential traffic are simple
to address and would be an unnecessary expense to bear.
CONCLUSION: Changes to residential traffic patterns and parking are generally easily
implemented and expense should be minimal. But, time is of the essence, and the issues will be
compounded as time and demand on resources increases.
