No discussion before the vote. The motion carried unanimously.
2. Recognition of visitors:
Mayor Gulliford recognized the members of the Goodling family
present and reported that the City Commission had adopted a
resolution at a recent meeting honoring Donald L. Goodling who had
recently passed away. He read the resolution in full and presented
the original document to the Goodling family.
Dave Siebert, 816 Cavalla Road, said he had recently asked that a
fire lane behind his residence be appropriately marked. He said to
this date nothing had been done. Fire Chief Rew said he had looked
into the matter and planned to write the property owners proposing
to change the traffic flow to one way and to keep the fire lane
open. Property owners would have approximately ten days to respond
to this letter and the work should be completed a week thereafter.
After further discussion city staff was directed to check into the
ownership of the alley behind the homes in question and also to
determine whether the conversion from apartments to condominiums
was properly approved and met the building code requirements, and
advise the City Commissioners individually on the matter.
Ruth Gregg, 905 Sailfish Drive, complained of white goods which
had not been picked up. Mr. Kosoy said a tag is attached notifying
the owner of the violation and it is then referred to Code
Enforcement.
Ms. Gregg also complained of a large hole in Sailfish drive which
had been caused by a recent utility project in the area, and also
asked that the city trim shrubbery which had become overgrown and
which obstructed her view when backing out of her driveway.

3. Appearances:
A. Atlantic Beach Athletic Association request for funds and
submission of information as requested by the City Commission
Gary Santora reported the Mayor had met with the Athletic
Association. Mr. Santora had subsequently met with the City
Manager and had also spoken with the City Attorney. He felt there
was now a better understanding and spirit of cooperation between
the city and Athletic Association. Mr. Santora reviewed the
documents which had been requested by the city and reported that
most of this material had been provided.
Mr. Santora reported on the successes of the various teams and
requested a donation of $2,500 to help defray the cost of sending
the various teams to the regional championships. Discussion ensued
as to whether a donation could be made from bed tax funds and the
City Attorney provided copies of the Florida Statutes regarding bed
tax funds and said in his opinion a donation such as had been
requested could not be made from bed tax funds.
A lengthy discussion ensued regarding the city's policy on making
donations, and it was the general consensus the City Commission had
agreed during budget workshops that no donations would be made this
fiscal year and no funds had been budgeted for donations. Mayor
Gulliford sought the wishes for the City Commission and since no
motion was forthcoming, it was agreed no donation would be made.
Commissioner Weldon offered a personal donation of $100 and
challenged others to do likewise.
B. Request by Beaches Arts Foundation for $4,000 grant
Alice Gartland, President of the Beaches Arts Foundation explained
the function of the Arts Foundation and the scope of involvement in
the community. She explained the Foundation's plans to build an
arts center in Jacksonville Beach and requested a donation of
$4,000.00.
Other members of the Beaches Arts Foundation who were in attendance
also expressed their support of the arts and urged the City
Commission to approve the donation.
Discussion ensued regarding whether bed tax funds could be used for
this donation, particularly in light of the fact the new facility
would not be located within the boundaries of the City of Atlantic
Beach. After further discussion action on the matter was deferred
and the City Attorney was asked to research the matter and provide
a written opinion regarding whether bed tax funds could be used to
make a donation to such a facility outside the municipal limits of
the city.

4. Old Business:
A. Discussion and related action relative to proposals for 18th
and 19th Streets
Lt. Campbell reported the committee appointed by the Mayor to
review the parking and traffic flow problems at 18th and 19th
Street, had met and made the following recommendations:
Nineteenth Street:
(1) The basic parking configuration should remain as it currently
exists.
(2) The type of vehicles parking on 19th Street should be
restricted to prevent long vehicles including recreational
vehicles, longbed pickup trucks, or similar vehicles from
creating a parking problem or traffic hazard.
(3) The city should look into obtaining some type of barrier(s) to
protect the fencing on the north side of the roadway from
being damaged.
Eighteenth Street:
(1) The parking configuration should remain as it currently exists
(2) The parking in the perpendicular parking spaces should be
restricted to prevent long vehicles from parking in the spaces
and creating a traffic problem or danger.
In addition to their recommendations for 18th and 19th Streets, the
committee observed that parking was being prevented in many public
areas by shrubbery and other obstructions and recommended these
areas be cleared. They also recommended beautification of public
areas and felt lighting of parking areas would help to prevent
improper activities.
Raymond Salman, 1633 Park Terrace East, reiterated the actions of
the committee. He said he had suggested to the committee that
certain areas of 18th and 19th Street be designated for Atlantic
Beach residents through decals or other method. This idea had not
been approved by the committee. He said this system is used
successfully in other areas and asked that the City Commission
consider adopting such a system.
Ben Stadelman, 1931 Beach Avenue, felt consideration should also be
given to widening and providing parking along Seminole Road.
PAGE FOUR V V
MINUTES NAME OF
JUNE 24, 1991 COMMRS. MSYN
William Morgan, 1945 Beach Avenue, said he owned the property on
the north side of 19th Street and planned, eventually, to develop
this property. The fence along that property is constantly damaged
by vehicles parking and he urged the city to erect a barrier to
protect the fence.
Motion: Adopt the committee recommendations regarding Cook x
parking at 18th and 19th Streets and instruct the Edwards x x
City Manager to follow up and comply with those Tucker x
recommendations Weldon x x
Gulliford x
Further discussion ensued regarding beach access parking problems
throughout the city and a workshop meeting to discuss parking and
traffic flow problems was scheduled for July 1, 1991 at 7:30 PM.
The question was called and the motion carried unanimously.
B. Discussion and related action relative to architect selection
for proposed community center at Donner Park
Cook x
Motion: Enter into negotiations with ACTECH for Edwards x x
architectural services in connection with a Tucker x x
community center in Donner Park Weldon x

No discussion before the vote. The motion carried on a 4 - 1 vote

C. Discussion and related action relative to proposed utilization
of speed bumps on Beach Avenue
Action on this matter was deferred until after the workshop meeting
regarding parking and traffic flow to be held on July 1, 1991.
D. Report from the Community Center Committee
Commissioner Weldon reported the request for office space from the
Friends of the Beaches Library and the Town Center Agency had been
discussed at the recent meeting of the committee.
David Hansford, Chairman of Town Center Agency said the group had
been raising funds to landscape, beautify and renovate the common
down town area of Atlantic and Neptune Beach. They had been
operating out of the various business offices of those volunteering
with this project and needed additional office space where they
could accept donations two days per week. Commissioner Weldon said
the committee had recommended approval for the Town Center to use,
at no charge, the office formerly used by the receptionist.
The committee recommended no charge for the use of the building for
meetings between 8:00 AM and 5 :00 PM, Monday through Friday. After
5:00 PM any day there would be a minimum charge of $25.00 for three
hours or less with a $10.00 per hour charge thereafter, all events

to be scheduled through the Parks & Recreation Department. Food
services would not be available, or allowed, in any part of the
center.
The committee approved the use of the cashiers area during regular
business hours by the Friends of the Beaches Library, at no charge.
Commissioner Weldon said approvals were recommended through the
current fiscal year only, after which time the status of the
proposed renovation of the building would be assessed.
The committee further recommended the appropriate document be
drafted to name the building "The Adele Grage Community Center."
Cook x
Motion: Accept the recommendation of the committee and draft Edwards x
resolution to name the former city hall building Tucker x x
"The Adele Grage Community Center" Weldon x x

No discussion before the vote. The motion carried unanimously.
Cook x
Motion: Accept the recommendation of the committee relative Edwards x x
to charges for the use of the Community Center Tucker x
Weldon x x
In discussion before the vote Commissioner Weldon said the Gulliford x
committee had agreed since the Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) had held
meetings in that building for many years, that that organization be
grandfathered in at no. charge. The motion carried unanimously.
Commissioner Weldon further reported the committee had recommended
that city employees not be allowed to use the building for training
purposes since other facilities were available to them. Lt. Smith
of the Fire Department said the Buccaneer building was not
appropriate for their use since it was outside the city limits and
would add to the response time on calls. Mayor Gulliford requested
the committee to discuss this matter further at their next meeting.
S. Ordinances:
A. Discussion and related action pertaining to draft of height
limitation ordinance
Community Development Director Worley reported that the Community
Development Board had been endeavoring to develop a reliable and
accurate method of determining the average natural grade elevation
on lots so that the measurement of building heights could be fairly
applied to all properties in the city.
The board had provided two draft ordinances for consideration by
the City Commission. One ordinance required the existing grade
elevations to be determined at 100 points on the property and an
average of those points would be the grade level from which the
height of the building would be measured. The second draft
ordinance required that grade elevations be determined at only five
points from which an average grade would be determined. A third
option would be a combination of the two drafts.
PAGE SIX V V
MINUTES NAME OF
JUNE 24, 1991 COMMRS. MSYN
Bob Frohwein, 1820 Ocean Grove Drive, builder, and also a Community
Development Board member, said he felt the 100 points method would
create a lot of work and expense for some properties and he felt a
combination of the two drafts would be the best method. After a
complete discussion of the matter, Mayor Gulliford solicited the
wishes of the City Commission.
Motion: Accept the recommendation regarding height Cook x
measurement and direct Community Development Edwards x x
Director, George Worley to combine the two Tucker x
ordinances and return to the City Commission for Weldon x x
further consideration Gulliford x
The City Attorney inquired whether the intent was to measure only
within the setback lines or throughout the lot and it was the
general consensus the measurements would be taken throughout the
lot with the exclusion of streets and those areas seaward of the
coastal setback line.
The question was called and the motion carried on a 4 - 1 vote with
Commissioner Cook voting nay.

In discussion before the vote Commissioner Weldon pointed out a few
typographical error and errors in form which should be corrected.
The question was called and the motion carried unanimously.
B. Discussion and related action pertaining to proposed American
Paging Contract
The City Manager reported the city currently had pagers from three
different companies at varying prices. One of these companies,
American Paging, had proposed a monthly lease charge of $10.00 per
pager based on a two-year contract. This would represent a savings
to the city in the amount of $2,600.00 and it was his recom-
mendation the city execute the two-year contract.
Mayor Gulliford suggested the city consider purchasing the pagers
and paying for only air time and it was agreed to ask the
Purchasing Agent to check into this.
C. Request authorization to repair Fire Engine No. 2
Lt. Smith reported after inspection of the No. 2 engine, Coastal
Diesel had recommended replacing the engine. He said the current
engine could be rebuilt for $6, 134.00 but Coastal Diesel had
indicated the truck was under powered and recommended replacing the
existing engine with an 8.2 turbo charged remanufactured diesel
engine. The estimate to replace the engine and fabricate exhaust
and air inlet connections was $9,180.00. Mayor Gulliford felt the
city should get a letter from Emergency-One or Chevrolet stating
that the turbo engine is acceptable to the power train in the
truck.
Motion: Accept the recommendation to replace existing engine Cook x x
with 8.2 turbo charged remanufactured diesel engine Edwards x x
at a price not to exceed $9,180.00, subject to Tucker x
written confirmation that this engine would be Weldon x
acceptable to the existing power train Gulliford x
Discussion ensued regarding the degree of emergency which existed
and whether the city should seek bids for this work. After a full
discussion of the matter it was decided to get three written
estimates, (including Indmar Diesel Service) , before proceeding
with any work.
The question was called and the motion carried on a 4 - 1 vote with
Commissioner Tucker voting nay.

8. City manager reports and/or correspondence:
The City Manager reported the Pension Board had requested a work
session with the City Commission to discuss current pension
benefits for city employees, and that the city authorize an
ordinance be drafted to change the percentage of total pension
funds which could be invested in qualified stocks from 30% to 40%.
The board had indicated this flexibility would enhance the
investment portfolio of the pension program and thereby translate
into enhanced returns.

a meeting was tentatively scheduled for the first Wednesday in
August, with the City Manager to finalize the details.
9. Mayor to call on City Commissioners, City Attorney, and City

Mayor Gulliford reported he had received a letter from three
property owners at the extreme north end of Seminole Road

properties in the proposed sidewalk project on Seminole Road.

SUBJECT: Proposed Sidewalks - Seminole Road -
19th Street to Hannah Park
Dear Mayor Gulliford:
We , as a group of property owners at the end of Seminole Road,
would like to formally protest the proposed sidewalk construction
through our respective properties at the end of Seminole Road.
It is our understanding that Atlantic Beach proposes or has
approved the construction of sidewalks from 19th Street to the
end of Seminole Road. We have no objection to sidewalks being
placed from 19th Street to the north end of Ocean Walk. We think
this is more than appropriate considering the growth in the Ocean
Walk Development. However, beyond the northern boundary of Ocean
Walk, we do not feel the pedestrian traffic is sufficient enough
to require sidewalks . In addition , due to the large parcels of
property each of us own and occupy, we feel it would be
detrimental to the property values and take away from the
landscaping efforts we have made for the last ten to fifteen
years to leave our properties as natural and beautiful as
possible.
We do urge you to bring this request before whatever City Body
that is necessary and plead our case to have the sidewalk project
stopped at the northern end of Ocean Walk. We definitely do not
feel extending beyond that point would be of any benefit to
anyone in the area.
We thank you for your time and cooperation in this matter. If
you have questions concerning the above, we will most certainly
provide any additional information you may need.
Very truly yours ,
