Donner Park that we would be a presence in their area to
rid their community of drugs and crime. We intend to
fulfill that commitment. Residents in every section of
town should get equal service and attention to their needs.
I will encourage the city commission to explore looking
at some quality -of -life issues from a regional perspective. In
particular, youth activities might well be expanded if we

would study on a regional basis the needs for athletic fields
and youth social clubs and activities in terms of what is
already available in the beaches area and what might make
sense for future planning. In the past I have seen little joint
planning, and I think we have an opportunity for coopera-
tive ventures between the three beach cities and the county
that would result in more activities and reduced costs for
everyone. Another issue is that many agencies are planning
bike paths into and at the beach, but I see little evidence of
a comprehensive plan. I would urge us all to develop such a
plan - lots of potential.
I hope the commission will also explore the future of
Johnson Island, located in the Intracoastal Waterway below
the Atlantic Boulevard Bridge. The new bridge will go over
the island and we may have an opportunity to bring that
island into our nature parks system.
An issue I raised in my campaign was that of getting back
to bacirc. T believe we can do a better job of providing
essential services. I will use my leadership over the next few
years to emphasize basic services and planning and to put
in place the resources necessary to maintain and beautify
city property and public land. Everything from mainte-
nance of buildings and roads to landscaping of city rights-
of-way has room for improvement. We on the city commis-
sion will have to make hard choices to fund improvements,
but long range planning will provide us the tools we need.
Finally, I intend to lead the charge in making the Fly -
Over (the Atlantic Blvd./Mayport Road intersection) and
other major transportation projects as attractive as possible.
I believe in straightforward and amiable relationships with
the JTA, JEA, FDOT and other agencies and governments.
Goodwill always gets us more than animosity, and it is in
our mutual benefit to maintain a civil dialog. There are
many challenges, but we have a strong city commission, a
new city manager who wants to succeed and a motivated
city staff that will continue to serve us well. Let's get on
with it.
Thank you, Atlantic Beach,

Y2K has become quite a news issue in the last year.
Many reports and articles describe governments and
businesses scrambling to fix the problems expected
when the century changes. Atlantic Beach has been
working on this problem for more than a year and is
well prepared for the new year. We have done much
research and extensive testing to determine what
equipment could be affected by this programing bug
and how best to fix the problems.
The heart of the problem is the ability, or really the
lack of ability, of a computer to recognize that the year
following 1999 is 2000 and not 1900 or some other
date.
The City of Atlantic Beach decided early on to
approach the problem by identifying the machinery,
equipment, systems and computers that we believe to
be vital to the health and safety of our residents and
operating functions. We have already corrected any
potential problems that might occur by upgrading
software, and we have replaced the equipment which
needed to be replaced.
To further assure the least possible disruption of
services, we have been in close contact with other
municipalities and government agencies which provide
services to Atlantic Beach. Those that provide our
most important services appear quite well prepared,
and we will continue to coordinate with them in their
on-going preparations.
To protect our residents our water and sewer facili-
ties will be staffed throughout the transition, and
additional police officers will be on duty. Given the
thoroughness of our review and testing, we do not
believe that our residents will experience any difficul-
ties, or interruptions in services when the Year 2000
arrives. If you have questions, concerns or suggestions,
you may contact Community Development Director
George Worley at 247-5817.
Toy Drive
As a Community, let us take this holiday season a
joyous one for everyone. The Parks and Recreation
Department will collect new and used working toys
for the Donner Park Community Center Toy Drive.
Toys can be dropped off until December 18 at the
Donner Park Community Center (2072 George St.)
and at the Fire Station. There is a special need for
toys for ages 12-14. For information call Gail Baker
at 247-5851.

It's Christmas,
Don't Become
During the Christmas Season, the Police Depart-
ment recommends that you take a few precautions to
avoid becoming an easy victim:
Do not place purses in baskets or leave them unat-
tended while shopping. With a minor distraction, a
thief can steal your purse or remove your wallet in a
split second. Every year, we have local victims who had
their purses in shopping baskets and "only turned away
for a second."
Do not leave packages and presents where they can
be seen in your car. It only takes a few seconds for
someone to hreak ont a car window and mov- a
item. Most suspects of this type are opportunistic, and
they break into cars simply because they can see
something valuable. If you have to leave articles in
your car, please lock all valuables in the trunk where
they can not be seen.
When you place boxes out for garbage pick-up, you
are letting everyone know what items you received as
presents. Televisions, stereos, and similar items are
often targeted by thieves, and when you place the
boxes in front of your house, you are letting everyone
know that you probably have something that they
want to steal. The Police Department suggests break-
VAtdbk&Vhe boxes or obscuring them such that they
do not advertise what you have received.
When you are going out-of-town for the holidays,
assure that an emergency number is available to reach
you. If you have an alarm system, make sure that an
emergency person is available who can turn off your
alarm.
Do not drink and drive. If you are going to drink
any alcoholic beverage, establish a designated driver
before going out, or plan ahead to have alternative
transportation. The Police will have additional officers
assigned to D.U.I. enforcement during the holidays to
remove impaired drivers from the streets and road-
ways. Plan ahead to protect yourself, your loved ones,
and everyone else on the road during the holidays.
Be patient with others! You know that the mall is
going to be packed, there are not going to be enough
parking spaces, the lines will be long, the latest "trend"
toy is going to be in short supply, some people you
encounter will be intoxicated and/or emotionally
charged, and your financial resources may be stretched
to the limit. Do not let these inconveniences get the
best of you. Avoid conflict with others who are prob-
ably experiencing the same things that you are experi-
encing. You don't know what they may do, and a kind
word may help you to avoid a potentially dangerous
conflict with them.
The Atlantic Beach Police Department is continu-
ing its work to locate children who are truant from
school. Local studies have shown that when children
are "skipping" school, it is more likely that they are
breaking into houses and engaged in other illegal
behavior. It has also been established that one of the
most important factors in school performance is
attendance. For these reasons, Atlantic Beach Police
will be working with the State Attorney's Office, the
Sheriff's Office, and the local school resource officers
to locate truant children and return them to school. If
you become aware of any "hangouts" where truant
juveniles tend to congregate, please call the Police
Department to report the activity.
Sidewalk 1 tte
It is against the law to park on a sidewalk, and this
includes parking in such a manner as to block the
sidewalk.
We have a number of handicapped citizens who
depend on the sidewalks for access to businesses,
parks, and friends. If you block a sidewalk, you may be
preventing a handicapped individual from being able
to reach his/her destination. Whether or not the
wheels of your car are on the sidewalk, you may not
block the sidewalk in any way.
Additionally, parking a vehicle on a sidewalk dam-
ages and breaks the concrete. Over time, the section
will become dangerous to pedestrian traffic, and it will
have to be replaced. Please do not drive across or park
on sidewalks.

Wonderwood Project
Superior Construction Company began construc-
tion of the Wonderwood Connector project in July,
which includes relocation of our water lines and sewer
force mains. The water line relocation has been com-
pleted, and construction continues on the force main
relocation and road work.
Waterline Improvements / Water Quality Reports
Construction of a new 6" diameter water main on
Ardella Road and Richardson Lane has been com-
pleted. Gruhn May Contractors are replacing old 2"
diameter water mains with new 6" or larger mains at
various locations in the City.
Water Quality Reports were mailed to all our
customers in October. These reports are to inform our
customers of the quality of their drinking water and
contain information on the drinking water source and
results of drinking water analyses. Test results show
our drinking water meets all State and Federal re-
quirements. If you have questions, or would like a copy
of the report contact the Public Works Department at
247-5834.
Dutton Island Culvert
Callaway Contracting, Inc. is expected to have
completed replacement of the deteriorated culvert at
the entrance to Dutton Island by the time you receive
this newsletter. There will be no access to the island
until installation of the culvert is complete.
Stormwater Improvements
Petticoat Contracting, Inc. began construction of
the 1999 Stormwater Improvements Project on No-
vember 1, 1999. This project includes drainage im-
provements at various locations throughout the City,
including parts of Donner Road, Sandpiper Lane,
Palm Avenue and Seminole Road, and Pine Street.
Also included are a tide gate at the Aquatic Drive
culvert, oil skimmers at the Public Works Yard, and a
continuation of the sidewalk on Donner Road to
Sandpiper Lane. S
Aikenhead & Odom, Inc. is working on the rede-
sign of the major stormwater project, which will affect
much of the core city area. The engineer has met with
the Stormwater Review Committee, and a workshop
was held with the City Commission on October 11, 1999.
Sewer Cleaning and Televising / Wastewater Plant
Video Industrial Services, Inc. has completed
cleaning and televising sewer lines in the core city
area. Many of the sewer lines are in poor condition,
and more than 400,000 gallons per day of stormwater
may enter the sanitary sewer system from cracks in the
lines or from homeowners' services that connect to the
sewer mains. After a detailed review of the findings,
plans will be made for repair, rehabilitation or replace-
ment of these sewer lines. Thank you for your patience
and cooperation during this project.
Meadors Construction Company is continuing
construction to expand the capacity of the Buccaneer
Wastewater Treatment Plant from 1.3 million gallons
per day (MGD) to 1.9 MGD. The project will include
some new equipment, as well as rehabilitation and
modification of existing tanks and machinery. Con-
struction should be complete by Summer 2000.
Tree Trimming and Removal
The year's busy hurricane season has resulted in
many damaged trees, and large volumes of yard waste
material. When a contractor or tree surgeon trims or
cuts down a tree or other large vegetation on your
property, please inform the contractor that he is
responsible for removing all of the waste material from
your property. The City's yard waste contract provides
for removal of only 5 cubic yards of waste material.
Individual branches or bundles must weigh less than
40 pounds and should have no dimension over 5 feet.
Sherry Drive
Many citizens have requested information regarding
the repair and resurfacing of Sherry Drive. This work
will be done in conjunction with the major stormwater
utility project that includes the core city area. Because
it is likely that a large drainage pipe will be installed
under Sherry Drive during this project, it would be
most efficient to complete the road work after drain-
age improvements are installed. Design for the
stormwater utility project is currently underway.

Goole Enforcement
Who Needs I'luildinre; Codes.?
We all do—whether in our homes, offices, schools, stores,
factories or places of entertainment. We rely on the safety
of structures that surround us in our everyday living. The
public need for protection from disaster due to fire, struc-
tural collapse and general deterioration underscores the
need for modern codes and their administration.
Atlantic Beach has been in the forefront of building
codes enforcement. With very few resources we have
earned a very high Insurance Service Organization (ISO)
rating of 4 which is as high or higher than all other build-
ing departments of the First Coast area.
The reasons for enforcing the codes are as follows:
For your personal safety and that of your home.
To ensure the economic well-being of the community by
reducing potential spread of fire and disease.
For the conservation of energy.
To protect future home purchasers who deserve reason-
able assurance that the home they buy will be safe.
Hurricanes FLOYD and IRENE left mountains of
debris to be removed by the City which took longer than
anticipated. It was obvious that many of our residents took
advantage of this time to do spring clean up in their yards,
although this added to the amount of debris the end result
is less unwanted outside storage and a cleaner city. Re-
member there are specific days for a pick up of yard trash.
Call Public Works at 247-5834 for pick up times in your
neighborhood. The City will also have your appliances
removed when properly placed at the curb - remember to
remove the doors from refrigerators.
Did the clean up reveal that junk car, motor cycle, RV, or
boat stored way back in the corner of your yard? Wonder-
ing how to get rid of it? Try this, call 1 -800 -488 -CARS
(2277). The National Kidney Foundation will pick it up
and provide you with a TAX DEDUCTION.
Posted Numbers Save Lives
Now is a good time to check that your house numbers
are permanently attached to your home and visible from
the street. se at least three inch numbers in contrast color
to your home. House numbers are the only means of
identification that Police, Fire and Emergency Rescue have
of finding you in an emergency.
Check your Christmas lights for broken wires and
defects that may cause a fire prior to putting them on your
home or tree. Have a safe Holiday Season.
Fitness ?
The Parks and Recreation
Department is creating a
Fitness Group that will
meet at the Adele Grage
Community Center, 716
Ocean Blvd. This group
will provide the opportunity
for you to meet your neigh-
bors, walk, jog, exercise with
a group and visit parks
throughout the City. For
more information, please
call the Recreation Depart-
ment at 247-5828.
