He reported that he was on the prevailing side on the Ordinance but not on the prevailing side on the amendment. He asked that the City Attorney correct him if he is wrong. Mayor Wolfson expressed his desire to make a reconsideration of the FAR from .54 to .60. Commissioner Rorno asked if that was a motion. Mayor Wolfson explained he had a motion for discussion and that he is asking for reconsideration for that part of the ordinance. commissioner Simmons believed that a reconsideration can not be done. Mayor Wolfson asked for clarification. Commissioner Simmons explained that if a vote on a motion is not reconsidered on the day the vote was taken or on the next succeeding day, the vote September /5, /006 RF(_TTT.AP C(1M T RUIN VIN.RTINC2 Page R cannot he reconsidered at the next meeting. She read from Robert's Rules which stated when a permanent organization has weekly or monthly meetings, and when usually only a small percentage of the members are present, it seems best to permit a reconsideration to hold over to another meeting so that a larger portion of the group will he aware of what actions is taken. She pointed out the Commission meets twice a month but that all of the members were present at the last meeting. for all the puhlic hearings, for all the Commissioner comments and for the votes on the Ordinance. Commissioner Fletcher indicated that was also his understanding. City Attorney Tensen advised in Section 9-19 of the City Code states, rules governing the conduct of the City Commission business. Rules of Conduct and procedure of Meetings, Rule 20., after the decision of any question, it shall be in order only for a member voting on the prevailing side to move a reconsideration at the same or next regular meeting. Commissioner Simmons asked for the meaning of "after some question". City Attorney Jensen explained voting the question. ue reported that Mayor Wolfson voted in favor of the Ordinance which contained the .54 FAR. Mayor Wolfson asked if Commissioner Simmons understood that explanation, then asked Commissioner Fletcher the same. Commissioner Simmons answered yes. Commissioner Fletcher answered yes. hut raised an objection to consideration of the question which has no debate (referred to Robert's Pules) requiring an immediate vote. Mayor Wolfson believed that to not be valid. Commissioner Fletcher asked for guidance from the City Attorney regarding the objection to consideration of the question, requiring no debate, and requiring a two-thirds vote. City Attorney Tensen asked to clarify consideration of what question. Commissioner Fletcher explained the Mayor's question of reconsideration. Mr. Jensen advised the Mayor has a motion and a second on the floor. Commissioner Fletcher indicated he did not hear a motion or a second. Mayor Wolfson reported he had motioned to reconsider and Commissioner T orno seconded it. Commissioner Fletcher expressed his desire to move to postpone indefinitely. T -Te asked the City Attorney whether it would require a debate or an immediate vote. Mr. .Tensen and Commissioner Simmons both referred to a list and found Commissioner Eletcher's motion to postpone indefinitely as a debatable motion. Commissioner Simmons explained there is a motion on the floor and a second to reconsider. hut then another motion would be needed. Before she was able to finish, Commissioner Fletcher indicated that he has a motion on the floor to postpone indefinitely. Mayor Wolfson asked what he is postponing indefinitely. Commissioner Fletcher answered this reconsideration which requires a second, a debate and a vote. Motion: To postpone the reconsideration indefinitely. Moved by Fletcher, seconded by Simmons Mayor Wolfson moved the motion to a discussion. Mr. Jensen raised a point of order indicating that he is not sure if that motion takes precedence over the original motion that was made. Commissioner Torn agreed. Mr. Tensen recommended that the Commission act on the motion for reconsideration. Saptamhar 7S ?MA RRGTTT.AR LYIMMTQQT(1N Mf .FTTN(, Para Q T -Te went on to explain voting up or down a motion for reconsideration is not changing anything, it just means that you are going ahead to reconsider it. Commissioner Fletcher read from a book on Robert's Rules of Order, Subsidiary Motions- Number 1. It stated, if an emharrassing main motion is brought before the assembly, a member can propose to get rid of this question without hringing it (meaning main motion) to a direct vote hy moving to postpone indefinitely. ROHR, Tenth Fdition, page 171-74. TTe indicated it was a superseding motion. Mayor asked the City Attorney for his guidan'e. Mr. Jensen indicated that the City's Ordinance does not address that. Mayor Wolfson asked Commissioner El etcher to reiterate his position. Commissioner El etcher explained he is moving to postpone indefinitely the mayor's motion and that it is a subsidiary motion to dispose of a main motion. ue stated. again. if an emharrassing main motion has been brought before the assembly, a member can propose to get rid of this question without bringing it (meaning main motion) to a direct vote by moving to postpone indefinitely. mayor Wolfson indicated they have a motion and a second and it will require a vote. Commissioner El etcher believed his motion will supercede the main motion made hy the mayor. Commissioner Eletcher apologized to the Mayo -r and the Mayor explained no apologies are necessary that this is procedural and is not a problem. Commissioner Borno asked if it was open for debate. Mayor Wolfson asked if he was correct hy accepting this as superseding the motion. Mr. Jensen indicated he did not know. mayor Wolfson believed Commissioner Eletcher's motion would need to be debated. Commissioner Fletcher explained there was a motion and a second to postpone indefinitely which requires debate and a vote. Commissioner Borno asked whether everyone is following Robert's Rules or following the rules in the City Ordinance of how we (the Commission) do husiness. Mayor Wolfson indicated his Reconsideration Rule is in our ordinanCe and that should he used. T -Te indicated an option would be to waive Robert's Rules and follow the city ordinance. Commissioner El etcher asked for point of order. He explained there was a motion on the floor. mayor Wolfson explained he was waiting for a response from the City Attorney and asked Commissioner El etcher to allow the City Attorney to respond. Commissioner Fletcher said he felt a little highjacked. Mayor Wolfson said he is not being highjacked at all. Commissioner Fletcher repeated he feels highjacked. Mayor Wolfson explained there is no highjacking here. Mayor Wolfson explained how he felt about it and now he is following his last recourse. T -Te explained he has a right to make a motion to reconsider which is the right and prerogative for any Commissioner. Commissioner Waters added, who votes on the prevailing side. Mayor Wolfson reiterated that with a vote on the prevailing side that is the right of any Commissioner. Commissioner Eletcher asked if he wants to open it for debate. Mayor Wolfson indicated he wants to wait for Mr. Tensen's response Hirst before moving forward. Mr. Jensen indicated the Commission would have to determine if the motion that Mayor Wolfson made to reconsider is an emharrassing main motion according to the Rules. Commissioner Eletcher offered clarification for why that quote appears somewhat valid although the word is strong. T -Te explained that two and a half to three years have been spent reviewing proposals and considerations, that a fair vote was taken after much public discussion (difficult public discussion) and that the motion to reconsider would hring up a lot more contention which no one wants. Ceptemher 25, 2006 RFf_T1T.AR ( QMMTCCT(lN 11,4F,F,TING Page 10 Mayor Wolfson explained that the information he brought forward at the last meeting regarding the fin FAR was considered and was moved to a motion and was moved for discussion. He further explained that he pot it on the overhead and there is an avenue in a motion to reconsider if you bring information to the table late for discussion. He advised that Mr. Tensen had the book and it is in Robert's Rules. He reiterated that it was not meant to highjack hut that said it was the last opportunity for any of the commissioners to think about it fi,rther and revisit hefore it's finalized. Commissioner Fletcher responded, like any zoning law, they are fairly fluent and the Commission could return to them after a period of time to make changes as needed. He indicated that he does not see this as a fixed FAR or a fixed ordinance. However, he felt the commission took two and a half years and one hundred thousand dollars to do it the right way with due process. thorough information and a lot of public debate that was difficult. He expressed his satisfaction with the process. Mayor Wolfson indicated no one is questioning the process. He indicated this was the final piece of the process. Commissioner Fletcher expressed he would have preferred to hear about the Beverly Hills idea earlier in the process. Mayor Wolfson indicated the Reverly Hills idea did not come to his attention until it was written in the article on August 77th. so there was no way for anyone to hear it before then. He explained the point was not for the city to follow Beverly Hills, but for them to understand that the same measurement was arrived at within 100 square feet using a different methodology. Commissioner Cimmons noted that the discussion is way offhase. The Mayor agreed and steered back to the debate. Mr, Tensen reported, as he referred to standard descriptive characteristics in the Roherf's Rules of order. the motion to reconsider with respect to making the motion takes precedence over any other motion whatsoever and yields to nothing. Mayor Wolfson clarified Commissioner Fletcher's motion is not appropriate. Mayor Wolfson restated his motion to reconsider and pointed out the part that he wants to reconsider is change from the .54 FAR to .60 FAR. Commissioner Simmons indicated that she was confused explaining that there is a motion to reconsider hut does not think you can reconsider parts of it. She also indicated that they should reconsider that motion and should vote yes or no. Then, should have a motion to change the FAR which would have to be done by someone on the prevailing side of that vote. Mr. Tensen explained the Mayor was on the prevailing side of that vote and he voted to approve the ,54 FAR, commissioner Simmons asked if the motion is to Reconsider the entire ordinance. Mr. Jensen disagreed. He believed the motion was to Reconsider the FAR, in that, the portion of the Ordinance pertaining to FAR. September '75. '711116 RF.GTTT.AR COMMISSION MEETING Page 11 commissioner Simmons asked if it could be done without an announced Public nearing and the Mayor confirmed that it could according to Robert's Rules. Commissioner Simmons acknowledged it may he 12ohert's Pules hut asked if is was part of our code. She further explained that the city code says in order to make a change to an ordinance, you must have a public hearing and an ordinance_ is on the hooks as of September 1 1 th , Mr. Tensen suggested that if the commission is going to vote to reconsider this part of the ordinance, that they then schedule that on the next agenda. Also, if it is voted down, it is dead tonight, if it is approved, he suggested that the Commission consider any change to that ordinance at the next meeting. Commissioner Fletcher responded to the initial request by the Mayor by moving to appeal his decision to revisit this issue and asked Mr. Jensen for his guidance. Commissioner Fletcher read from Robert's Rules of Order regarding appeals. Mr. Jensen asked what he exactly wants to appeal. Commissioner Fletcher said he wants to appeal the Mayor's decision to bring this matter up and revisit the FAR. Mr. Jensen explained that was nota decision of the Chair, like being out of order or something like that, but was just a motion that he has brought to the commission. Mayor Wolfson asked for clarification on whether his motion of reconsideration would he for the entire Ordinance. Mr, Jensen indicated his understanding of the motion was to reconsider that part of the Ordinance that addressed the FAR. Mayor Wolfson confirmed. Mr. Jensen suggested that, especially in light of the public interest, if that motion is passed tonight, any proposed change in the FAR should he brought up at a fixture meeting by placing it on the agenda which makes it publicly noticed. He explained that would help so the puhlic doesn't think the Commission is doing something they didn't know about. Mayor Wolfson stated he understood. Mr. Tensen reiterated that the Commission votes tonight on the motion to reconsider. if that's approved, then they reconsider at the next meeting after public notice. If it is voted down, then it is done with. Mayor stated there is a motion on the floor to reconsider and asked if there is any other discussion. Commissioner Simmons asked the Mayor if he thought he caught the Commission off guard tonight. Mayor Wolfson reiterated that it is the privilege of a Commissioner and he is not trying to catch anyone off guard. He farther explained it to he an effort for reconsideration of the FAR to go from .S4 to .An and that he brought information forward for evaluation. He explained that if the consensus is to not reconsider this then vote accordingly tonight and if the motion fails, then there is nothing more that can be done and would he over with. Mayor Wolfson expressed that he took offense to that and has not tried to catch anyone off guard about anything. T -Te explained he has a right as a Commissioner, to Robert's Rules, to make a motion as on the prevailing side to reconsider. September 25, 2006 REGULAR COMMISSION MEETING page 17 Commissioner Rorno stated that he had been contacted by several people. more than three, regarding how he felt about the overall vote and the relationship to FAR and that they had all read how he felt about the EAR to begin with. He reported that after listening to them, they made good common sense and would like to say that he wants all the citizens of Atlantic Beach to clearly hear and understand why he is considering increasing the EAR from .54 to .60. Commissioner Borno stated the following: "Tt is to provide for all the citizens that will be affected by the FAR to have enough advantage as possihle, if needed, during this interim period when EAR is part of our current ordinance. T wish for all the citizens of Atlantic Reach to know that T will continue to work diligently to have FAR removed from our ordinance until that can take place in the future. T have not changed my firm belief that any EAR number could not have allowed the City of Atlantic Reach to exist as it does today and will never be appropriate for use in determining what our city would look like in the future. I am against McMansions and firmly believe the use of EAR is restrictive and not proper to our homeowners that have had a need to either enlarge or construct new homes in the fiture. That is my feelings right now. I am willing to give them the advantage of looking at .6." Mayor Wolfson believes that a .6n is a fair place to start and am iust looking for that opportunity to reconsider that portion of it and have no intention of voting against this if it is a .54 or a .60. He stated his position is that he will vote in favor of the ordinance with a .54 or with a .60, but his preference would be to go with a .60. T -Te reiterated that it was all he was asking for reconsideration on. He indicated that his commitment is to the ordinance and would pTefer the reconsideration for the .60. Commissioner Fletcher understood that they all have a right to reconsider. but felt a little frustrated because it "pops" it up and he would prefer to be prepared and to think about things thoroughly. He believed the Mayor was trying to reach a more compromise of a FAR. favor Wolfson answered that was part of what he was doing. He explained he sees the divisiveness in the community beyond anything ever imagined. He indicated he was looking for a way to start the healing process that Commissioner Waters mentioned in his prayer tonight. He indicated he felt all along that the .6n is a fair position. He advised he had discussed it with moderates and it was a concern. T -Te believed that elected officials have that responsibility to find some way to start this healing process sooner rather than later. Commissioner Fletcher stated that was his impression. He believed that the Commissioners tried all along to reach compromises. He explained he does not feel the community has been split. He advised he had met a moderate, very reasonable minded person of the core group over lunch on the Thursday before the Monday night final vote to find out what was wanted. He reported that on a SO' by 110' lot, an X,Mm square foot house was his offer. He explained he could not compromise. He does not believe that the core group will see a .60 as a compromise. Mayor Wolfson stated that is exactly his point. Mayor Wolfson believed the core group will never see anything less than 7200 square feet as a compromise and that is unacceptable and not where the moderates are. He indicated he spore to moderates who are very comfortahle with the .fO EAR, He explained if the .60 doesn't work, the Community Tlevelopment Hoard Septvmher 25 7.nn6 RFC -HEAR (T)MMTSSION MEETING Page 13 can come hack and make some suggestion that it should go to a .54. Commissioner El etcher believed that it can go up hut not down. Mayor Wolfson asked for reconsideration on the moderate position of a .60. Commissioner Simmons added she had not heard any consideration of the moderates on the other side who she said has expressed thanks for sticking to her guns and staying where we we are which is already a compromise. she believed that side had been sold out in the process and not considered. She believed the healthiest thing for the community is to drop it at this point, see where it goes and then consider it down the line. She indicated it had been quiet and peaceful for a few weeks. She felt to bring it up again and put everryhody on the line, more puhlic hearings, another packed room, another set of letters to the editor. and another set of anger is very unfair to the community. Mayor Wolfson acknowledged Commissioner Simmons' points. Commissioner Waters believed this to be a political compromise and was ready to vote. Commissioner Waters called the question. Mayor Wolfson advised the Commission there is a motion on the floor to reconsider the EAR from a .54 to .60.

The uprate includes cnndjtinn assessments and capital improvement rernmmendatinns fnr the: • Gravity sewer collection system (laterals, manholes, and gravity pjp#S) • I ift Station pumping systems (lift stations and forrPmainc) • WactPwatPr treatment plants (WWTPs) In addition to the general capital improvements assoriatPrt with typical future npPration5 of the sewer system, the City iS also anticipating more stringent nutrient riicrharge limits nn their two WWTPs associated with future Total Maximum Daily I nad (TMDL) legislation. In conjunction with the 7nnA SLAP Update, we are evaluating CevPral options for meeting the anticipated TMDL IPgiclatinn, The City's sewer collection system is maintained well, from a day to day operations standpoint. I ift Ctatinns are clean and well cared for, which is indicative of the rest of the system, The main issue facing the r..ity'C CPWPr s\/tem is age. A significant portion of the sewer collection infrastructure; whether gravity pipes. lift stations, nr fnrr.Pmains is at nr heynnd its typical life PxpPrtanry, This issue is (especially evident in the gravity sewer piping, where older vitrified clay pipes are crarkPd and have deteriorated, These damaged pipes are allowing significant amounts of rainwater and groundwater. known as inflow and lnfiltratinn (I/1), to enter the City's CPwPr system. The resulting increase in flow not only imparts the rapacity of downstream pipes and lift station, hiit also affects the flnwrates at the WWTPs. With potential costly upgrades to the WWTPs to address TMn1 jegidation the addjtior al flow frnm I/I has a significant impact on plant operatinn and associated costs. To address iheCP issi les in a manner that is ecnnnrnically feacihle fnr the (:ity, IMP have developed 2 systematic approach where a portion of the nity's infrastructure is rehahilitated every year, This approach divides the City's infrastructure into sections, such that the sections in the worst cnndjtinn are addressed first, and the projects are divided over the CIP's ten year time frame. The costs fnr these improvements are detailed in the respectiue Certinns of this report and are summarized in the CIP tahle at the end of this section. This Master Plan also includes analysis of the City's two waStPwater treatment plants (\MNTPs), which were not considered in the 7nnn master plan, This report identifies capital improvements necessary to meet both the TMDL (dicrucCP( in the folinwing paragraph) and general improvements necessary fnr cnn_tinued high quality and cafe operation of the facilities. Note that the general improvements are a rnrnhination of site visits to the WWTPs by the ATLI Project Team and working cloCPly with city staff, Finn! Roo rt 1 APP' IED TECHNOLOGY & MANAGEMENT, INC. AGENDA ITEM # 2A �,,t �f OCTOBER 9, 2006 ItV uanuc o�ac� 2006 Sewer Master Plan and capital Imprwamant Plan I IDriate The anticipated TMDL legislation will significantly reduce the City's allowable mass loading of nitrngan to the St..lnhns River; the exact reduction amount is cti!I heing dehated. Redilctinn of nitrogen ran hp achieved by either imprnvinq treatment at the WWTPs or implamanting a rel ICP program. The City may be receiving grant money to fund a reuse project, which would remove approximately n,275 million gallons per day (mgrl) of tha rity'c RR mgd of effluent discharge. To address nitrogen reds infirm in the remaining effluent, we evaluated several options; • fptimi7ing the existing plant designs while upgrading both plants for nitrogen removal • Upgrading the Atlantic. Reach WWTE for nutrient removal and pumping the Ruccaneer WWTE's flow to it for treatment • rnnstn Icting a nutrient removal system to treat Pffll lent from all of the Reaches rnmrnunitiPs, and locating jt at the Ruccaneer WWTP. • Upgrading the Atlantic Reach WWT2 and performing minor process improvements at Buccaneer. This nptinn only meets the anticipated initial TMDL limit, but does not meet the future limit. As described in this report. there are multiple variahlks outside of this analysis that should be rnnsidered when the City decides which TMni nptinn fin purse IP, Fnr that reasnn, this Report does not make a distinct recommendation regarding the best option. Instead. WP prPSPnt the advantages. disadvantages, and costs for each. The City should use this information. in rnnjunctinn with infnrmat!on relating to stormwater TUN s, the futl Ire I Ise of RI Iccaneer WWT2, future plans for implerPntatinn of reuse, etc... to ultimately decide hovo to pr cePri, Fnr the purposes of preparing the rity'c 10 -year Sewer Capital Improvement Plan. we have used Option 4, the Hybrid Option (meets the interim limit) ac it appears to ha the Option that the City is most jnterPctPri in hased nn our meetings at 90%. The table presented on the following page outlines the City's 10 -year CIE. Note that certain items in the tahle are presented in line item form, such as `rnllection System Improvements." Fnr a mnrP dPtalled hrPakdnwn of what those improvements involve, %//P havP referenced the section of this report vniherP the information is presented in a more detailed form. Also note that the jmprnvements are broken down by the timeframes 7nnZ, 2nmR-7mn, and 2011-2010. We havP chosen to use timeframes rather than specific year, cn that the ray may adjust this plan as new information becomes available, Cjty staff identify new issues, and to mesh it ‘niith budgetary constraints. Additionally, Parh line item includes a ranking (High, Mid, Low), such that tha City ran readily discern which improvements are the most important with respect to each timeframe. We rernmmend that the City revisit this plan annually and reprinriti7P the improvements based on the changing criteria noted earlier in this paragraph.

Recycling and Green Waste Collections; The city's sanitation company collects approximately 12,400 tons of solid waste per month in Atlantic Reach. Of that amount, approximately '4n0 tons (19.25%) is green waste which is sent to a special landfill site and another 1,150 tons (9.3%) is recycled. Consequently, almost 30% of the waste stream originating in Atlantic Beach is being kept out of the regular landfill. This certainly implies a commitment of Atlantic Beach residents to uCe environ entally sound solid waste disposal practices.

He has worked as the government reporter for the Leader since May of inn 1. A s of the date of the writing of this report, there has been no announcement about who will take his place.
