MEMORANDUM
TO: The Honorable Mayor
and Members of the City Commission
FROM: Jim Hanson
City Manager
SUBJECT: City Manager's Report
Reconstruction of Pylon in Neptune Beach; Several Commissioners have asked about the
schedule for the reconstruction of the pylon on Atlantic Boulevard on the Neptune Beach side at
Town Center: Construction has been delayed while the contractor has obtained the specialty
bricks that are needed to match the existing pylon on the Atlantic Beach side. The most recent
report from the contractor indicates a start date estimated at 12/9/03. They estimate the work
will take approximately one and half weeks to complete which brings an estimated completion
date of 12/22/03. Total cost of the pylon reconstruction, new brass plaque, replacement of
landscaping and related work is about $10,000. Neptune Beach has been working through the
court system to get the driver that caused the damage to pay for the costs.
Water and Sewer Imaact Fees; The City has financed the payment of water and sewer impact
fees for several customers in recent years and that financing is allowed in the City Code. Most
recently, an owner renovating a building at 2434 Mayport Road for a restaurant has requested the
City to finance a portion of the impact fees, which will amount to $12,000.00. This will be paid
over the next two years and the owner has agreed to placing a lien on other properties that he
owns until the impact fees are paid. No commission action is needed in this case. The report is
being made because the amount of the financing is fairly large.
