Funds for this Fletcher x x increase would be obtained from the following Tucker x sources: transfer funds from within the Waters x x following Beautification accounts to Gulliford x Beautification Projects Account: Landscaping at City Hall - $1, 000; Shrubs and Crepe Myrtles at Community Center - $490.00. Remove $60.00 from the amount of $260 budgeted for the Living Christmas Tree at Donner Park, leaving $200. Move $1, 400 from the Life Guard Budget representing a ramp that is now not needed. Balance of $2, 500 would come from reducing Account #514, Legal, from $5, 000 to $2, 500 for a Labor Attorney. City Attorney Alan Jensen indicated he was not aware that $5, 000 was budgeted for a Labor Attorney in his department. Commissioner Fletcher made the following motion: Second Substitution Motion Re Beautification: AB 1216 V V PAGE 5 NAME OF MINUTES, SEPTEMBER 28, 1992 COMMRS. MSYN Edwards Correct the Substitute motion as follows: reduce the amount of $45, 000 for Litigation Fletcher x and Other Charges in the City Attorney' s Waters Waters Budget by $2, 500 Gulliford Discussion ensued and Alan Jensen indicated he had not requested $5, 000 for a Labor Attorney; however, Finance Director Kirk Wendland explained $5, 000 had been provided to pay Captain Campbell for labor negotiations. Third Amended Substitution Motion Re Edwards x Beautification: Disregard substitute motion Fletcher x x and vote on original motion to reduce Labor Tucker x Attorney budget amount from $5,000 to $2, 500 Waters x x Gulliford x Mayor Gulliford stated the essence of the motion was to add $5, 450 from the sources mentioned in the motion to the $5, 200 presently in the Beautification Budget for Special Projects. Commissioner Waters asked Commissioner Fletcher to explain the intent of the motion to which Commissioner Fletcher explained the intent was to coordinate all efforts in Beautification by moving funds within the same Beautification budget. He referred to funds in the Life Guard Account for a ramp and he indicated since the ramp was not going to be installed, the money would be available. He referred to the $5, 000 for a Labor Attorney and indicated since there didn' t seem to be a need for these funds, the account could easily be reduced to $2, 500. He indicated the additional beautification funds would be used for beautifying the "Welcome to Atlantic Beach" signs, and for planting other shrubbery in the City. Mayor Gulliford said he supported the work of the Beautification Committee but indicated if there was $5, 000 available, it might be needed in the Fire, Police, or Public Works budgets. He felt the Commission could establish priorities during the year. Commissioner Fletcher indicated perhaps too much emphasis had been placed on purchasing equipment and computers, and not enough emphasis has been placed on projects for the people. Mayor Gulliford suggested instead of adding $5, 000 for Beautification, the City could participate on a matching basis, for instance, the city would donate $5, 000 AB 1217 V V PAGE 6 NAME OF MINUTES, SEPTEMBER 28, 1992 COMMRS. MSYN provided that citizens and volunteer organizations would come up with another $5, 000. Roll Call vote on the First Substitute Motion Re Beautification resulted in a vote of 3-2 with Commissioners Edwards, Tucker and Gulliford voting nay. The motion was defeated. Commissioner Fletcher then referred to the Convention Development Tax, specifically Fund #120, under Special Revenues. First Substitution Motion Re Town Center: Edwards x Amend the budget by adding a Line Item Fletcher x x entitled "Town Center Project. " Fund it with Tucker x $25, 000 and limit it for use on Atlantic Beach Waters x x right-of-way, only. (Funding for the Town Gulliford x Center Project would come from the following sources: Concrete to Strengthen Post on Basketball Courts - $2, 000; Removing Chimney and Adding Roof on Adele Grage Community Center - (Commissioner Fletcher suggested deleting this item, and he indicated he would address this later in the meeting) - Delete the purchasing of Modular Home and apply $18, 000 of that funding toward Town Center line item, and place remaining balance of $7, 000 back into the City' s Reserve Funds. ) Commissioner Edwards suggested leaving the funding where it was until later when the City might need it for a project. Commissioner Fletcher explained the City was proposing to spend $2, 000 on basketball posts that were not needed, $5, 000 to tear the chimney off the Civic Center, and the purchase of a modular home for $23, 800. He indicated unless this was changed now and appropriated into something else, the money would be spent on these items. He indicated he is proposing to spend this money on the completion of the Town Center. He indicated the source of funds being discussed was the Convention Development Tax, and that tax, he added, was specifically designed to be used into the area that generates the funds, namely the restaurants and hotel who would benefit from the completion of the Town Center. He indicated he felt it was important to finish and place lighting in the Town Center so that it would be more attractive as well as safe. He added before any of the money was expended, it would come back to the Commission for approval. A discussion ensued concerning the chimney of the Civic AB 1218 V V PAGE 7 NAME OF MINUTES, SEPTEMBER 28, 1992 COMMRS. MSYN Center and it was reported the chimney had been restored and would not be torn down and, thus, the $2, 000 would be used for this restoration. Kirk Wendland indicated the $2, 000 for a concrete basketball post was already taken out of the budget and it had been placed in the fund balance. Rose Blanchard referenced the modular home and stated Chief Thompson had obtained a PAVE grant to be used in Donner Park to assist in having a Community Center. She indicated PAVE money would be available until December 31, 1992, which was a stipulation from the grant, and she indicated there was a commitment to purchase the modular home at the going price by January 1, 1992. She indicated the purpose in buying the Modular Home was so that Donner Park would have a Community Center for its youth. The City Manager explained the plan was to use the PAVE Grant, which was a commitment, but the Commission would approve the purchase of the $25, 000 modular home. Chief Thompson explained the grant was good only until December. He indicated there was a concern of removing the trailer after several months and terminating the program. Thus, it was felt if the money was set aside the trailer could be purchased when the grant was finished, and the program could be continued. The Mayor referred to the Town Center Project and indicated he would like to see the Commission issue a Resolution soliciting the cooperation of Neptune Beach and the restaurant owners involved in the area indicating the City would match the funds they would raise. He added he would like the Town Center to be a participatory project. The Mayor indicated he would like Commissioner Fletcher to come back with a Resolution at some future time. The question was called and the vote resulted in 3-2 with Commissioners Edwards, Tucker and Mayor Gulliford voting nay. The motion was defeated. Edwards x Second Substitution Motion: Pass Resolution Fletcher x x 92-27 with the following amendments to the Tucker x budget: Place in Unallocated Section of the maters x x Convention Development Account the following: Gulliford x Changes to Grage Center - $5, 000; Concrete to Strengthen Posts on B Ball courts - $2, 000; Purchase Modular Community Home for Donner Park Community Center - $23, 800 AB 1219 V V PAGE 8 NAME OF MINUTES, SEPTEMBER 28, 1992 COMMRS.
