MEMORANDUM
TO: The Honorable Mayor
and Members of the Cit~Commissi
FROM: Jim
SUBJECT: Follow-up
The following are responses to questions and requests for additional information that were
made in rece[rt City Commission meetings.
Storm water Information from Aikenhead & Odom; Stephen Kuti addressed the City
Commission at the last meeting stating that he had received some incorrect information from
Aikenhead & Odom in response to some questions he had raised about the storage capacity of
the Selva Lagoon, and that he had. since received corrected information. He felt that the
Aikenhead & Odom design was based on incorrect information and therefore was flawed.
Mr. Kuti was correct in that the first response to his most recent request for information
contained erroneous data. However, he was incorrect in assuming that the Aikenhead &
Odom storm. water model was based on incorrect information. Mr. Kuti's request for
information was passed along by myself to Aikenhead & Odom and wound up being assigned
to one of the technicians. They started with some of the data from the software model and
applied improper conversion factors to put it in a written form so that it could be returned to
Mr. Kuti. Unfortunately, the supervisor at Aikenhead & Odom did not check over the
information before it was sent back to me and I forwazded it to Mr. Kuti as it was received.
Mr. Kuti discussed his contention about the Aikenhead & Odom model being based upon
erroneous information with Bob Kosoy prior to the last, City Commission meeting and Mr.
Kosoy explained at that time what had caused the error.
Funding for Plavground in Jacksonville Beach; Atlantic Beach officials recently received a
request for Atlantic Beach to contribute funds to a playground to be constructed in Jacksonville
Beach. A question was raised about possible funding. from the City of Jacksonville Beach.
George Forbes has advised that Jacksonville Beach would hold any action on this item'until the
private fund raising activities aze concluded. It is recommended that AtlanticBeach hold off on
any decision on this. matter until after Jacksonville Beach has take action.
Meeting with YMCA concerning Feasibilitv/Market Study for Community Center; The
Commission requested at the last meeting that Atlantic Beach officials arrange to meet with the YMCA
and Join Together Jacksonville to discuss possible fixnding of the study. While the
meeting has been scheduled, it has not occurred as of the date of the writing of this re~ort.
A verbal report should be ready by the time of the Commission meeting on Mazch 12 .
