MEMORANDUM
TO: The Honorable Mayor
and Members of the City Commission
FROM: Jim Han

SUBJECT: Follow- p Report
Water/Sewer Rate Questions; Several questions were asked by Commissioners at the
workshop on January 27` about how the proposed water/sewer rate restructuring would affect
various types of customers. Answers to these questions and other information will be available
in a second workshop on this subject, which has been tentatively scheduled for 5:00 pm on
Monday, February 24, 2003 just before the next City Commission meeting. This workshop will
again be a "double header" with two subjects on the agenda. These will include not only the
water/sewer rate restructuring but also the Navy Privatization Project.
Reflectors on Seminole Road; It was reported at the last Commission meeting that several of
the reflectors on Seminole Road should be replaced. Upon inspection, a few of the reflectors
were missing, but a far greater number were partially covered by asphalt resulting from recent
resurfacing projects. New reflectors have been ordered and the problem should be corrected
within three to four weeks after delivered.
Directional Sign on Atlantic Boulevard; The need for a directional sign on Atlantic Boulevard
heading west to notify drivers of the right hand exit for northbound Mayport Road/AlA was
noted. A sign presently exists at approximately the Aquatic Drive intersection notifying drivers
of the Al A/Mayport Road right turn exit. However, tree limbs obstructed the motorist's view of
the sign. City crews have since trimmed the limbs.
Streetlight Repairs; A complaint was made at the last Commission meeting about the timeliness
of streetlight repairs made by the Jacksonville Electric Authority. The Police Department
monitors for burned out streetlights and communicates with JEA when repairs are needed. The
Lieutenant in charge of the program has reported that, while JEA's timeliness in the past has
been a problem, in recent months they have responded to City requests for repairs very quickly,
usually within one to two weeks. Police Officers have identified numerous burned out lights for
repair and have also checked into complaints by citizens prior to reporting them to JEA.
Plaza Speed Bumps; A separate staff report on this item has been prepared by Director David
Thompson and is included on the agenda for City Commission review.
