MEMORANDUM
TO: The Honorable Mayor
and Members of the City Commission
FROM: Jim
SUBJECT:
Sidewalk on Sherrv Drive; At the last Commission meeting, it was reported that there were
some portions of the sidewalk along Sherry Drive that had been cut by the contractor and not yet
,replaced leaving it unsafe for pedestrian use. It was also suggested that the entire Sherry Drive
sidewalk should be replaced. There were 19 locations identified where the sidewalk had been
cut by the contractor to install water service lines. While the contractor had made arrangements
to either bring the grade level up to the height of the existing sidewalk or barricade it during
construction, they have since repaired each of these pieces of sidewalk. Most of the sidewalk
along Sherry Drive (approximately 75%) is in very good condition and City staff feels that the
complete replacement of this would be a waste of money:
Contractor's Use of Citv Barricades Alon¢ Sherrv Drive; Another comment was made at the
last Commission meeting that the contractor had been allowed to use City of Atlantic Beach
barricades rather than paying for their own. Three Atlantic Beach barricades were on Sherry
Drive the morning after the. last Commission meeting. Two of them were in an excavation done
by Bellsouth on 4`s Street and the other was over an excavation made by City water crews on
Sturivant. The contractor has been using barricades rented from Acme Barricades and has
replaced many of them that were damaged during the last two weeks.
Fire Hydrant Testin¢; Someone stated at the last Commission meeting that the Jacksonville
Fire Department had not checked any hydrants in the City since they took over providing fire
service in 1999. The Jacksonville Fire Department has tested all of the hydrants in Atlantic
Beach more than once and has provided their hydrant testing records to the City. The latest test
of the. hydrant specifically referenced was on February 7, 2002; foot days prior to the
Commission meeting when the complaint was made. A copy of that hydrant inspection report is
attached.
Newsletter Publication Costs; A suggestion was made about the possibility ofpublication of
the City's newsletter in the local papers rather than mailing it directly to our residents. The cost
for publishing a half page ad in both local papers would be less than $1500 per month. This is
for publication in black and white, although color maybe available. It also assumes that the
newsletter is photo ready (i.e. does not include editing and typesetting).
