Since no one wished to speak the Mayor closed the Public
Hearing. Edwards x
Fletcher
Motion: Approve Resolution No. 92-27 Tucker
Waters x
Commissioner Fletcher referred to the Beautification Gulliford
Budget, and he made the following motion:
Substitute Motion Re Beautification: Increase
Beautification Capital Improvement Projects Edwards x
from $5, 200 to $10,650. 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

PAGE 5 NAME OF

Correct the Substitute motion as follows:

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.

B. Proposed changes in building permit fees
Don Ford, Building Inspector, gave a report concerning
proposed changes in building permit fees. He explained
the present permit fee structure had inequities that did
not allow enough funds to cover the cost of review and

that an ordinance incorporating the new fees be placed on
the next City Commission agenda.

"permitted uses" or "uses-by-Exception" in either
district.

AB 1222

E. Recommendation of architect for design work for
concession stand at Russell Park
City Manager Kim Leinbach presented the recommendation of
his office in consultation with Parks and Recreation
Director Rose Blanchard to enter into contract with
Actech Architects to modify and enhance the Jack Russell
Park concession building. He indicated he believed this
firm would provide the necessary guidance, direction, and
general professional assistance to modify the existing
structure in a manner enhancing the entire complex. He
indicated $50, 000 was budgeted for this work.

Architects to draft plans to modify and Tucker x
enhance the Jack Russell Park concession Waters
building Gulliford
:ommissioner Fletcher suggested obtaining proposals from
other firms. The possibility of constructing a second
floor was discussed but it was felt that access for the
handicapped would have to be taken into consideration and
would be very expensive. Commissioner Fletcher indicated
he did not want to award the contract to a firm without
knowing the architect who would be doing the work. It
was brought out Gerard Vermey was associated with Actech.

Vermey would be asked to come before the Commission, make

F. Authorization to execute mutual aid agreement with
Homestead, Florida
City Manager Kim Leinbach asked the Commission to
authorize the execution of a Mutual Aid Agreement between
the City of Atlantic Beach, Florida and the City of
Homestead, Florida. He explained the purpose of the
agreement was to ensure the City of Atlantic Beach
received reimbursement for all costs pursuant to the
emergency of the recent hurricane provided that the City
of Homestead is reimbursed for their cost by the Federal
Emergency Management Agency. Atlantic Beach assumes no
additional liabilities as a result of the agreement.

10. Mayor to call on City Commissioners, City Attorney
AB 1224
V V
PAGE 13 NAME OF
MINUTES, SEPTEMBER 28, 1992 COMMRS. MSYN
and City Clerk:
Commissioner Edwards reported concerning a petition from
the Florida League of Cities and the Florida Association
of Counties petitioning the Supreme Court of Florida to
have Jim Smith remove Amendment 10 from the ballot. He
explained this was in reference to the valuation
limitation concerning homestead exemption. On another
matter, Commissioner Edwards referred to 851 Plaza and
the unsitely appearance of the property which had been a
problem for four years. Don Ford stated the homeowner of
851 Plaza lives in another state and it takes some time
to serve legal notice before the city crews can cut the
grass. He reported he is placing a lien against the
property and the City might eventually have a right to
foreclose.
Mayor Gulliford suggested the city not provide services
to a property until a lien is satisfied. The City
Attorney was asked to provide information regarding this
and he advised a city ordinance would have to be changed.
The Mayor asked the Charter Revision Committee to address
this.
Commissioner Tucker suggested police officers who
volunteered to assist the City of Homestead be reimbursed
for their out-of-pocket expenses. Police Chief David
Thompson reported he would pursue this and come up with
figures concerning the amount of out-of-pocket expenses.
Commissioner Fletcher indicated his desire to have John
DeVault, local attorney, represent the City during
negotiations in regard to the Interlocal Agreement
dispute with Jacksonville.
Motion: Retain John DeVault to represent the Edwards x
City in regard to the Interlocal Agreement Fletcher x x
dispute with Jacksonville Tucker x
Waters x x
Commissioner Fletcher indicated Mr. DeVault was a Gulliford x
specialist in the area of negotiation and would enhance
the City' s team. Commissioner Edwards felt it was too
early to retain an attorney and perhaps it would send a
wrong signal to Jacksonville. Commissioner Fletcher
indicated he thought the retaining of an attorney would
send a message of strength to Jacksonville.
Kirk Wendland pointed out $50, 000 from the Reserve Fund
had been budgeted for legislative action relative to the
Interlocal Agreement and the dispute with Jacksonville,
AB 1225

PAGE 14 NAME OF
MINUTES, SEPTEMBER 28, 1992 COMMAS. MSYN
and he requested this money be refunded to the Reserve
Fund from any monies received from Jacksonville. Thus,
the Reserve Fund would be replenished, he explained. He
requested this be put in ordinance form.
Roll call vote resulted in a vote of 2-3, with
Commissioners Edwards, Tucker, and Mayor Gulliford voting
nay. The motion was defeated.
Mayor Gulliford appointed Commissioner Waters to respond
to a letter from the U. S. Department of Education,
America 2000.
