Commissioner Waters stated she believes a photograph etching will be more expensive than what she had proposed.

Moved by Waters, Seconded by Hill Roll Call Votes: Aye: 2-Waters, Hill Nay: 2-Stinson, Reeves MOTION FAILED Motion: Continue discussion to determine a path forward so they don't leave staffwithout direction. Moved by Hill, Seconded by Waters Commissioner Hill stated he wanted to give staff some direction and wants to have an open discussion about where to go from here. Commissioner Stinson stated he wanted to get bids with cost estimates to move to a different brand of pump so they can justify the expense. Mayor Reeves stated his concern is sole source because it ends up being the highest price sometimes. Commissioner Waters stated utilities are the backbone of how the City functions. She stated she understands that sole source might not be a good idea for everything but the pumps that keep the utilities running seem like one where it might be. Commissioner Hill explained why he would endorse going with the sole source provided on this item and stated he has faith that staff has done the work necessary to save the money in the long run. He asked the City Manager if there is a way to bid an item like this even around the sole source provided if it's territorial; can they go outside the territory, or is it a brand specific thing. Mr. VanLiere stated he knows that Hudson Pump is our area representative and you might have to ship it from farther away. Mr. Moore stated his understanding is that the pumps are the same price if you go regionally or to other distributors but you may have increased shipping costs. Commissioner Hill stated he agrees with Commissioner Stinson that the minute you give up on trying to fmd the savings, the provider is going to do whatever he wants beyond that point and he was just looking for a solution. He stated he counts on staff to do the hard work to make sure we don't get taken advantage of. Mr. Moore stated he believes he has provided clear direction. Commissioner Stinson stated at the last Commission meeting, the direction was to price this out with other providers. He stated he also had offered his expertise in the pump industry to help look at this. He further stated if they do go out and bid pumps and it comes back that Gorman-Rupp is higher but they believe there is some value in that, that is okay. He stated he hasn't heard staff say that we are in an emergency situation and if they were in a position they weren't able to provide the level of service they usually do, they could rent ~~-' March 28,2016 REGULAR COMMISSION MEETING AGENDA ITEM #1A APRIL 11, 2016 Page6 Mr. Moore stated they have three pumps and most of the time two are enough. He stated right now it is not an emergency situation; this is a routine maintenance replacement, the pumps are 22 years old and they replaced one last year and wanted to continue that for the next two years until all three were fresh and new. Commissioner Waters stated it is 8:00 and they are still on the Consent Agenda. She stated in general items on the Consent Agenda are staff-researched matters that are looking for consent. She stated she understands that they have questions about them but most of their sister cities manage to run a meeting in two hours and ours have been stretching to 6-6 ~ hours. She understands there is a desire for open government and wonders if there isn't a way for the Commission to get their questions answered in an open way and not have a 6 ~ hour meeting. She suggested that since staff knows a lot about these items, if they have questions that they ask them during the week, and perhaps there could be an amendment with a list of questions and answers provided the Friday before the meeting so it is clear what questions Commissioners are asking and what answers they are being given when they are making decisions. She stated, if they have done their research, these are items that should be somewhat quick to move through, but they have proven not to be. Mayor Reeves agreed and stated that is something he wants to talk about during their open comments. Mayor Reeves suggested that our City Purchaser put out a bid for an equal type pump under any brand, but don't lock themselves to the lowest bidder; then pick the best equipment for us. He stated he promises that those prices will come down because it is competitive. Commissioner Hill stated he would amend his motion to defer to the April 11 meeting. Motion: Amend to defer to April 11. Moved by Hill, Seconded by Stinson Mr. Van Liere stated if they are going to go through the process of bidding this out, they have to write the specs, advertise the bid, send it out, wait for the responses, evaluate the responses and then come back to the Commission. He stated there is no way that would take place by April 11. Mayor Reeves asked that Commissioner Hill amend his motion to defer this until the City Manager can put it back on the agenda. Motion: Amend to defer until June 27 when the City Manager will bring this back to the Commission. Moved by Hill, Seconded by Waters Votes: Aye: 4-Hill, Stinson, Waters, Reeves Nay: 0 MOTION CARRIED 5. Committee Reports None. 6. Action on Resolutions None. 7. Action on Ordinances A.

Miscellaneous Business (Discussion only) A. Safe Routes to Schools Memorandum of Agreement with JT A. AGENDA ITEM #lA APRIL 11, 2016 PageS Kayle Moore explained the project, stating they are at approximately 30% design so there is opportunity for flexibility in some of the areas where the path runs. Commissioner Waters stated she has heard from a number of concerned citizens who were directly affected as their property lies along the path and there seems to be a feeling they were not included in the publicly noticed meeting because they don't have children that attend the school. She stated they asked to have a review and asked if this could be a topic at the Town Hall meeting on April 9. Mayor Reeves agreed but believes they need to give more time than that for a public meeting. He stated it is a failure of the City that they notified people that they would have a public hearing where everyone could come see the plans. He stated there are many rumors and the public needs to see the presentation and believes they should not rush the date but rather have the City Manager look at the calendar for a good time. He believes this project gets mixed up with the Seminole Road project at the other end. Discussion ensued. City Manager Van Liere reiterated that part of this agreement was that the City would spend the $6,100 with the engineers to hold the public meetings, one at the Atlantic Beach Elementary School and another here in the Commission Chamber when those plans got to be about 30%. He stated that is the only money they have spent on the project other than the money they spent on the person who did the grant. He explained this Agreement is for the City to agree to maintain the project after it is put in place, to hold these public meetings and to have JTA manage the project. Mr. Moore agreed stating some of the public outreach was delayed when the project was kicked years out and now that it has just recently been pulled back into the original timeline, they are definitely going to move forward with the public outreach. Mr. Moore answered questions from the Commission. Discussion ensued. It was the consensus of the Commission to move this item forward. Mayor Reeves recessed the meeting at 8:30. He reconvened at 8:35p.m. B. Request for a Waiver from City Code Section 24-272-Environmental assessment and protection of wetlands and environmentally sensitive areas to allow development within the 25-foot upland buffer and to allow offsite wetland mitigation. Mr. Moore gave a slide presentation explaining the waivers being requested for the project at 980 W. 14th Street. He stated staff recommends consideration of approval of the requested waivers to City Code Section 24-272 requirements for (1) to waive the 25' buffer requirement and (2) to allow the developer to use an offsite mitigation bank. Mr. Moore and Mr. Hubsch answered questions from the Commission. Discussion ensued. Mayor Reeves asked the City Attorney if the Commission is obligated to move it to a regular m~eting where they have to vote on it. City Attorney Durden stated the Land Development Code calls for this waiver application to come to this Commission. She stated if there is an application that is submitted, she doesn't believe the City can just choose not to process the application. She stated, in that regard, it would have to come before the Commission for a Public Hearing. She stated it will have to comply with the notice March 28, 2016 REGULAR COMMISSION MEETING AGENDA ITEM #lA APRIL 11, 2016 Page9 requirement and several of those require 14 days notice so it could not come to the next meeting; the earliest it could come would be two meetings from now. Mr. Moore asked if there will be an opportunity for public comment when it comes up for a vote. Ms. Durden stated it will be a public hearing, will be advertised in the newspaper, posted on the property, and notices will be mailed out to everyone within 300 feet from the property. It was the consensus of the Commission to move this item forward to the second meeting in April, which will be a Public Hearing for action. C. 16-UBEX-41 (303 Atlantic Boulevard). Building and Zoning Director Jeremy Hubsch gave a slide presentation explaining the use-by-exception, which is coming before the Commission to get permission to sell liquor. He further stated a zoning variance was granted at the March 22 Community Development Board meeting with a vote of 7-0 to allow the applicant to provide parking off-site through the use of a shared parking agreement and they also voted 7-0 for approval of the use-by-exception. He stated the expansion will have to submit a building permit and comply with all the Codes. He answered questions from the Commission. City Attorney Durden stated one way to assure the shared parking stays in existence is to condition the approval of the exception that is before the Commission and tie it to the shared parking agreement. Discussion ensued. Ms. Durden stated the Commission could consider that Mr. Mansur has entered into an agreement that far exceeds the 13 parking spaces. She stated she would recommend, as a condition for the exception, that the shared parking agreement maintain for the 13 parking spaces as a minimum as opposed to what he has currently, because he has gone way over and above what is necessary. She reiterated she would limit it to the 13 spaces that are necessary that he maintain for a shared parking agreement with the Beaches Town Center Agency. Mr. Hubsch stated the Beaches Town Center Agency is really looking at this long term and the hope is that, in the event that Mr. Mansur were to sell his business or a new restaurant opened, the Beaches Town Center Agency would be the agent that would continue providing parking to whatever restaurant would come in. It was the consensus of the Commission to move this item forward to the next meeting for action. D. One Solution/Trakit-City permitting and license software Mayor Reeves pulled this item, stating IT Director Keith Randich could not be here tonight and he would be giving the presentation. He explained they are having some issues with our software and it could impact our budget for next year. Commissioner Stinson called a point of order, stating Item 4D was deferred but was deferred without a date. City Manager stated June 27 would be fine. City Attorney Durden stated they can just insert that date as part of that motion. 9. City Manager A. City Manager's Report. • 90-Day Calendar (April2016 through June 2016). Mr. VanLiere reported there is a Town Hall meeting on April9 in the Chamber. He thanked Scott Williams, Kayle Moore, Jim Rigsby and everyone who helped put on the neighborhood meeting on site at the Bennett Property. He stated they will be doing the minutes and getting them back to the Commission. March 28, 2016 REGULAR COMMISSION MEETING AGENDA ITEM #lA APRIL 11, 2016 Page 10 He stated at the last meeting they discussed having a workshop regarding how they would manage the City Attorney's budget and how they would handle some of the meetings and asked if they want a workshop before the next meeting to discuss these items. Mayor Reeves explained that they were going to do it before this meeting but Commissioner Harding was out of town. He stated what the meeting is about is to talk about time limits on the City Manager getting the agenda, time they spend on the agenda, each of them doing their homework offsite and talking to staff so they are prepared, etc. He asked if they want it to be a workshop or a roundtable, where they don't allow public comments. Discussion ensued. It was the consensus of the Commission to have a roundtable discussion, with no public comments, for April 11 at 5:30 before the next meeting. City Manager Van Liere asked how they want the room set up. Mayor Reeves stated they would sit at the dais. Mr. VanLiere thanked the Commissioners for meeting with Rick Carper on the Seminole Rd. project.
