CITY MANAGER REPORTS A. City Manager's Report CM Gerrity announced the police department has gone through accreditation evaluation. The required postcard notifications of pervious and impervious going before the Community Development Board (CDB) in January will be ready by the end of the week. He explained that all Commission Meetings and Workshops will be live-streamed and available several days later in a closed captioned format on the City's website. He explained the reasoning is due to closed-captioning regulations. If a video is available on the website in an archived form, as it has been in the past, then it has to be closed- captioned. For every hour of a City meeting the cost is an extra $100 to have it closed- captioned in addition to the cost of live-streaming. The City is able to have the regular Commission Meetings and Workshops closed-captioned and stay within the budget, but moving forward this will have to be budgeted. As soon as the figures are available, CM Gerrity will present to the Commission. The non-captioned meetings are available upon request through the Clerk's office. B. Accept the 90-Day Calendar (Dec. 2018 through Feb. 2019) CM Gerrity announced the Town Hall Meeting is on January 12,2019. The reason for the meeting is to discuss the pros and cons of annexing part of the Mayport Road into the City, along with an open forum for the citizens to discuss issues important to them. Consensus was given to accept the 90-Day Calendar. 4. REPORTS AND/OR REQUESTS FROM CITY COMMISSIONERS Commissioner Kelly: • Spoke about new speed limit of 40 miles per hour on Mayport Road being a step in the right direction. • Reported on the interviews for the Board Member Review Committee (BMRC). These interviews are for citizens that volunteer to serve on various City boards and committees. These interviews are on-going (January and February). Regular City Commission December 10, 2018 Commissioner Waters: • No Comment Commissioner Anderson: • Spoke about the possible annexation of land on Mayport Road and having a survey done without expense by Political Science students at the University of North Florida (UNF) as to whether the annexation is something the citizens of Atlantic Beach and the residents in that area want. Mayor Glasser: • Spoke about the change of speed limit on Mayport Road and thanked Chief Cook for providing the data that convinced the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) to lower the speed limit. • Reminded everyone of the loss of two Jacksonville Sheriffs Officers (JSO) this weekend. • Announced she has written the annexation narrative to go out with the monthly utility bills. • Does not support students conducting a survey, but she is open to other ways to survey. She thinks the Town Hall will make for the best spokespersons for the annexation. She has invited Councilman Gulliford to the Town Hall Meeting to talk about why he thinks this would be good for Atlantic Beach. 5. UNFINISHED BUSINESS FROM PREVIOUS MEETINGS A. Discussion on Special Magistrate Replacing the Code Enforcement Board Mayor Glasser gave the background leading up to the decision by the Commission to consider a Special Magistrate to replace the CEB. She clarified the reasons for the decision. She opened the floor for discussion. Commissioner Waters talked about the balance between leniency and enforcement between a number of competing interests. She spoke about the Commission weighing citizens' complaints against the function of the CEB against the advantages of having the current CEB. Commissioner Kelly stated she is offended by the assumption that the Commission would hire a magistrate that would not be prepared to exercise judgement and follow the law. She expressed worrying that judicial procedure is not always the best practice for the CEB, and she is concerned about the City being vulnerable to court action. Commissioner Anderson stated she leans towards a Special Magistrate stating it would be a more streamlined and affordable process. Mayor Glasser thanked the CEB members for their service and assured everyone the decision to go with a Special Magistrate is not a reflection on the CEB. The decision is about the quasi-judicial function of this type ofboard. CM Gerrity assured the Commission he will write a Request for Proposal (RFP). Regular City Commission December 10, 2018 It was decided to follow the same procedure as was conducted upon hiring a lobbyist. Three potential candidates decided upon by Staff will be brought before the Commission for the final decision. The Commission liked how the lobbyist interviews were done. B. Future Dune Walkover Location CM Gerrity presented a PowerPoint on Dune walkover locations in the future. There is $90,000 set aside this year in the budget and, based on the cost of the walkover at lOth Street, will not be enough money to build an ADA-accessible ramp. There are other beach accesses that can be served by a traditional walkover. The areas being considered by Staff are 1st Street, 2nd Street, 4th Street, 5th Street, 12th Street, and 14th Street. Staff has recommended 5th Street, but thinks it would also do well at 12th Street. All questions were answered. A lengthy discussion ensued about which area would best be served by a walkover. Consensus was given for 12th Street. 6. CONSENT AGENDA Mayor Glasser asked if any of the Commissioners wished to pull Items A and/or B for discussion. No one wished to discuss. A. Acknowledge receipt of the Monthly Financial Report for October 2018. B. Approve the 9-1-1 lnterlocal Agreement for the distribution of9-1-1 funds for call taker salaries and authorize the Mayor and City Manager to sign the 9-1-1 Interlocal Agreement between the City of Atlantic Beach and the City of Jacksonville. MOTION: Motion: Second: To accept the Consent Agenda as read. Blythe Waters Candace Kelly Cindy Anderson Candace Kelly (Seconded By) Blythe Waters (Moved By) Ellen Glasser Motion passed 4 to 0. For For For For Regular City Commission December 10, 2018 lOA. Beach Access Parking -10th and 18th Streets CM Gerrity reminded everyone of the recommendations from the Parking and Pedestrian Safety Advisory Resource Committee (PPSARC) and from City Staff, which was presented at the Commission Workshop on December 6, 2018. All questions were answered. Mayor Glasser reiterated the PPSARC's recommendations for 1Oth Street, and stated Staff and the PPSARC are mostly in agreement. 1. Add ADA parking spaces. 2. Change angled parking to straight-in parking. 3. Cut back on landscaping so scooter parking can be easier accessed. 4. Review line-of-site and access of the Cloister gate. 5. Move public spaces closer to entryway. 6. Clear signage between Beach and East Coast Drive. Consensus was given to proceed with recommendations for 1Oth Street. CM Gerrity presented a PowerPoint illustrating the various options for 18th Street. All questions were answered. Mayor Glasser asked for Commissioner comments. Commissioner Waters gave a history of the changes in parking on 18th Street and the reasons for those changes. She went over the parking requirements by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection with regard to beach re-nourishment, and the Federal processes required. Commissioner Waters stressed the importance of balance between the value of the neighborhood and the availability of public parking. She declared a need for more information before she can make a decision. It is problematic to her that the PPSARC and the grant-writing professionals are presenting a totally different number of usable spaces. She would like to see a plan that includes beautification, that pushes people away from residential properties, and a plan that includes public access for all residents of Atlantic Beach. She feels the majority of complaints are due to an over-demand for the supply of available spaces and that the Paid Parking Solution will be a part of decreasing the over-demand. Commissioner Anderson talked about the need for a sidewalk on 18th Street and the unsafe conditions during peak season. She expressed the main concern of the Commission is becoming in breach of contract with the Corps of Engineers, which is presently re-nourishing the beaches. After the beach re-nourishment is complete, the City may want to go back and. do a re-count of parking spaces but, for now, the City does not want to risk not receiving funds for beach re-nourishment. Commissioner Anderson also expressed being in favor of a Paid Parking Solution and/or automobile stickers for the residents of the beach. She has received a number of emails from citizens regarding their concern about the city installing public restrooms. She assured her constituents she will not support public restrooms should it come up for a vote. Regular City Commission December 10, 2018 Commissioner Kelly stated safety is her main concern and agrees with installing a sidewalk on 18th Street. Her second concern is clarity on what is and is not a parking space. CM Gerrity explained that Commissioner Norris emailed him that she was not able to make it to the meeting because she is attending a seminar in New York and her flight back was cancelled. However, she wanted to express her opinion on this issue and asked him (CM Gerrity) to give a written statement to Mayor Glasser at this meeting. Mayor Glasser read Commissioner Norris' statement. (which is attached and made part of this Official Records as Attachment A) "I am not in favor of reducing parking at 18th Street. This area is utilized by residents throughout Atlantic Beach, which !fear is often overlooked. As a City we need to explore other solutions before a significant or any reduction in parking, not just for the sake of grants and beach re-nourishment. Before any decision is made, I hope the Commission will push for a comprehensive and finalized plan that details cost-sharing initiatives, and accurate details on what can/can't be done. Perhaps increased stops by the City to keep the area clean, or low level lighting as a deterrent for inappropriate behavior. I encourage the Commission to consider other possible solutions before inhibiting any access to the beach. " Mayor Glasser talked about the difficulty of processing all of the communications that have come in from residents. She assured the residents that creating public restrooms is not a consideration. She is not in favor of adding spaces on 18th Street, and the dispute over how many parking spaces can be removed without jeopardizing the millions of dollars in beach re-nourishment funds places the City of Atlantic Beach in an onerous position. She suggested a couple of options that could be acted upon immediately without jeopardizing any of the beach re-nourishment funds. Mayor Glasser stated she does not feel comfortable with the City eliminating parking spaces or with installing a sidewalk right before rolling out the Paid Parking Solution program. She expressed her apprehension in making any major decisions to parking reconfiguration until after the beach re-nourishment and the Paid Parking Solution is in place. A discussion ensued regarding the improvements that have already been made on 18th Street, the safety issues that need addressing immediately, the amount of communications this issue has generated, the many considerations that come into play with beach re-nourishment, the logistics involved in creating a sidewalk, parallel parking, making 18th Street a one-way street, and bringing the issue back to the PPSARC for their recommendations. Mayor Glasser called for a 5 minute break at 9:25 p.m. and reconvened at 9:30p.m. 7. COMMITTEE REPORTS None. Regular City Commission December 10, 2018 8. ACTION ON RESOLUTIONS A. RESOLUTION NO. 18-56 RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF ATLANTIC BEACH, FLORIDA DIRECTING STAFF TO COLLABORATE WITH THE CITY OF JACKSONVILLE ON DEVELOPING A GRANT APPLICATION TO THE FLORIDA INLAND NAVIGATION DISTRICT FOR COST ASSISTANCE FOR THE ACQUISITION OF JOHNSTON ISLAND; DIRECTING STAFF TO WORK WITH THE CITY OF JACKSONVILLE AND RELATED TIDRD PARTIES ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF A MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING FOR JOHNSTON ISLAND; AND PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE. Commissioner Kelly spoke about re-visiting the purchase of Johnston Island. A new deal involving a grant is now available. She expressed being in favor of the purchase with the help of a number of nearby agencies. She explained this particular grant gives the City a chance to decide if the cost and the deal is reasonable. John November presented a PowerPoint about the history of the Public Trust and their involvement in conserving property along the marsh, the attributes of Johnston Island, the application process for the grant, how the grant works as a 'reimbursement grant', funding, and maintenance of the property. Melissa Bodry, Grant writer for City of Atlantic Beach (COAB), spoke about the positives in obtaining a reimbursement grant. She offered recommendations on a timeline for applying for the grant and the importance of obtaining a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) from the City of Jacksonville (COJ). CM Gerrity talked about the two appraisals the COAB had done averaging $1.29 million, getting a super majority, updating appraisals, and the FEMA ratings change effecting the appraisals. Mayor Glasser opened the floor for questions. All questions were answered. CA Durden commented on fifth (5th) 'Whereas' clause section of Resolution No. 18-56 stating "the City of Jacksonville as set aside funds in its 2019-2020 Capital Improvements Project Budget." She pointed out the COAB has not set aside funds, but has only identified funds that could be part of the COAB budget for 2019-2020. Her recommendation was to change the words 'set aside' to 'identified' until the budget is actually adopted. MOTION: Attorney. Motion: Second: To approve Resolution No. 18-56 with the modification suggested by the City Blythe Waters Candace Kelly Commissioner Anderson spoke in support of the acquisition. Regular City Commission December 10, 2018 Commissioner Kelly spoke in favor of the acquisition as it is an opportunity for the COAB to protect the view and activate waterways. Commissioner Norris' comments were read by Mayor Glasser as follows: (which is attached and made part of this Official Records as Attachment B) "I am in favor of the COAB and the COJ to begin discussion on the possibility of Johnston Island becoming a park, however, I believe any further action needs to be weighed against the reality of climate change. Based on the latest maps from NOAA, significant portions, if not all, of the island will be unusable. This includes Dutton Island Preserve and Tide Views and this is within the lifetimes of some of our residents. Any further or official action must be realistic in recognizing changing environments erosion and more. If anything, this de-values the property as the time line for its use is cut short. Before any official action, I hope the Commission will push for a comprehensive and finalized plan that details cross-sharing initiatives, accurate details on what can and cannot be done, agreements and understandings amongst agencies that have stakes in this property. This includes the COJ, FIND, the US. Army Corp of Engineers, and FDOT, and a thorough examination of what the cost is to COAB in the long term, commitments, liability, etc. " Commissioner Waters spoke in support of the purchase as it is an opportunity to bring dollars to the City through economic development in the Mayport Corridor, it would provide a public access point to sheltered areas on the marsh side, and it would increase the use of the COAB parks without increasing vehicular traffic through neighborhoods. Mayor Glasser spoke about her attempts to bring this before the Environmental Stewardship Committee (ESC), the emails she has received from residents, the timing of the acquisition in terms of a commitment, her concerns over flooding, and the cost of maintenance, and the importance of serious negotiation. CM Gerrity informed the Commission he will need to hire a consultant to assist with the work involved in putting together the MOU as Staff is overtaxed right now.
