I must tell you that everyone there at the city has always been very helpful, but specially Ms. Pat Hams. She has always been exceptionally cooperative and helpful she has always treated me with respect and has been there when I needed help or a question answered. In this day and age gems like her are very difficult if not impossible to find.

They never hear of the sacrifice that officers make or the compassion that is shown. I am taking this time to show that some of us do care. I would like to take this time to Thank the work by your officer Officer R_K Harding. I had lost my wallet on Atlantic Beach Blvd. Your Officer was both professional and caring. I know that losing ones wallet will not make the headlines of America's Most Wanted or is it a big crime. Your Officer treated it like it was the most important thing at that moment. The wallet was returned to the main gate of Mayport Naval Station--would you believe with the money still in it. Maybe they knew the hound dogs of APD were on their heels. I have served in many cities and countries while serving my nineteen years in the U.S.Navy and Atlantic Beach is right there at the top. I know it has been a long time since this incident (Approx 2 years), I thought a good/no a great job no matter the age is still worth telling.

Our objective is to develop a list of between three and five (3-5) outstanding candidates for recommendation to the City Commission. To this end, we are in the process of scheduling and conducting "on-site" interviews with the seven candidates approved by the City Commission. Scheduling these meetings has been difficult because several of the candidates have been traveling. Although there are still some interviews still to be scheduled, it is our goal and strong desire to complete this phase of the process by the end of next week. We have completed credit, criminal history, driving record and education checks on all of the candidates. Most of the reference checks have also been completed -although some calls are still out. To date, all seven candidates are checking out very well. The final narrowing will likely be tough. 1 will report our progress again on July 5,1999. We expect to be ready.to finalize the candidate group about that time. Thank you for allowing us to be of service to Atlantic Beach. Cordially, S VIN MANAGEMENT CONSULTANTS ~`~~~ Y .Robert E.

Nishan Paul, plsintiff below, appeals from an adverse final decree by a chancellor of the Circuit Court of Dade County, Florida. The plaintiff, Paul, filed his complaint for declaratory decree and other relief against the defendant, Dade County, Florida, and alleged, inter slia, that the County Commission of Dade County hsd appropriated tax derived fiords from the general revenue for the~purpose of erecting and maintaining a religious symbol, a cross, on a public building, the Dade County Courthouse, during the month of December, 1966. He alleged that he was anon- Christian and that the cross, as a religious symbol displayed on public property, constituted the establishment of religion in violation of the First and Fourteenth Amendmeau to the United Stales Constitution as well as the FIorida Constitution. Copr. ®West 1999 No CIaim to Orig. U.S. Govt. Works ' '202 So.2d 833 )E'age Z C~ (Ctte as: 202 So.2d 833, *834) The answer of the County generally denied the allegations of the complaint, but admitted that since 1955 a Latin cross, made by a string of lights and lighted only at night, had been placed on the south side of the courthouse during the Christmas season. It alleged that the cross was part of the Christmas •••~ decorations placed on the courthouse and was used as a yule season decoration to wish the community well bei,ctg, happiness and peace. It admitted thst the form of a Latin cross can be used as a religious symbol, but alleged that it also had secular connotations and that the Latin cross on the courthouse had a secular connotation as a yule season decoration. The answer was filed on November 14, I966; a fmal herring was held on November 15, 1966, and the final decree herein appealed was rendered on November 28,1966. The acts which were sought to be enjoined were completed during the Christmas season of 1966. The record on appeal does not contain evidence of any public funds being appropriated for this purpose for the Christmas "835 season of 1967, and it would appear that this cause might be moot. {I] The County Attorney has suggested in oral era inert thst the cause was moot, but requested the court to consider and decide the 4uestion involved because of the general public interest and importance ofthis matter. We have therefore decided to consider the questions involved herein. Sce Dehoff v. Imeson, I53 Fla. 553, 15 So.2d 258 (1943); 13arrs v. peacock, 65 Fla. 12, 61 So. 118 (1913), and Ervin v. Capital Weckiy Post, Inc., F1a.1957, 97 So ~d 464. The evidence reflects thst this cross, together with other lights and decorations, vas originally placed on the counhouse of Dade County, Florida at the request of members of the Miami Chamber of Commerce around 1955. 'T'his was done in order to help decorate the streets of Miai¢ti and attract holiday shoppers to the downtown area, rather than to establish or create a "" religious symbol, or to promote or establish a religion. j2] There was sufficient evidence in the record to justify the finding of the chancellor that the money for the erection, maintenance and remove! of the lights far the Latin crass had been donated by private persons for the year 1466 and that there would be no public funds used in connection therewith, Notwithstanding this, the appellant argues that evrn if public funds were not used in the erection, maintenance and removsl of the lighted cross, his constitutional rights havt been violsted by the erection of a religious symbol on the side of a public building, the Dade County Courthouse, which his taxes help to support, j3][4j The applicable constitutional criterion, as we divine it, is that set forth by the United States Supreme Coutt in Abington Tp. SchooI District v. Schempp, 374 U.S. 203, 83 S.Ct. 1560, IO L.Ed.2d 844 (1963): '' ' * The test may be stated as follows: what are the purpose and the primary effect of the enactment? If either is the advancement or inhibition of religion then the enactment exceeds the scope of legislative power as circumscribed by the Constitution. That is to say dtat to withstand the strictures of the Establishment Clause there must be a secular legislative purpose and a primary effect that neither advances nor inhibits religion. Everson v, Board of Education, (330 U.S. 1, 67 S.Ct. 504, 9l L.Ed. 711, 168 A.L,R I392, supra;) McGowan v, Maryland, supra, 36b U.S. (420) at 442, 81 S.Ct. (1 ]Ol) at l l 13--1114, 6 L.Ed.2d 393.' Id, at 374 U.S. 2?2, 83 S.Ct. 171. It has also been observed that many symbols, though religious in origin, have ceased to have religious meanings or have also acquired secular meanings. See Abinb on 'I~. School District v. Schempp, supra. For example, the dove, the star, the fish, and three intenvined rings have all had, or presently may have, some religious symbolism attached thereto. On the other hand, some have also acquired certain secular meanings. The record does not indicate that this temporary string of lights forming a cross was used to support, rid, maintain or establish any religion or religious edifices. Its purpose was not to promote the participation by anyone in the affairs of sny religious organizations or sect, [5] Consequently, we hold that under the Schempp test, this does not amount to the establishment of $ religion in violation of the First Amendment, and that it does not amount to a religious activity, controlled, supported or influenced by the government as was found to exist in Engel v.

Elmore, RLA David Thompson, City Manager Phil Nodine, Streets and Maintenance Div. Dir. RS Kl~ 1 1 , ~ CITY OF ATLANTIC BEACH CITY COMMISSION STAFF REPORT AGENDA ITEM: Recommendation on One Way Streets DATE: July 6, 1999 SUBMITTED BY: David E. Thompson, City Manager John Campbell, Deputy Police Chief BACKGROUND: In June 1999, staff was asked about their recommendations relative to making the numbered streets from Ahern Street to 16th Street restricted to one way traffic. As a part of this question, the issue arose relative to making Ocean Blvd., Eastcoast Drive, and Sherry Drive one way streets. The following summary is intended to discuss and revisit findings and recommendations relative to these suggestions. Ocean Blvd., Eastcoast Drive, and Sherry Drive This proposal was evaluated by the Police Department and the Parking and Traffic Committee that was in existence at the time. The discussion immediately led to citizen opposition, especially among residents living on those roadways. Initially, this was proposed as a way to widen the street for skaters and bicyclists using these streets. The Police Department pointed out that traffic is going to find a way to reach its destination. If you alter the patterns on one roadway, then you affect the patterns on the surrounding roadways as well. For example, if you make Eastcoast Drive one way toward the South, then all of the afternoon Northbound traffic will have to use Ocean Blvd., Sherry Drive, and Seminole Road to get to their destinations. Since Ocean Blvd., Sherry Drive, and Seminole Road are already very crowded in the afternoons, the result will be to further overload them during peak hours. If Eastcoast Drive were made one way toward the North, then the morning Southbound traffic would have to use Ocean Blvd., Eastcoast Drive, and Seminole Road. The impact would, again, overload the existing heavy traffic on those roadways. Due to the congested streets as they exist today, the additional cars would probably have a negative impact on traffic flow. When studied in the past by the Police and the Parking and Traffic Committee, their unanimous recommendations were not to make these streets one way. .. In addition. to the traffic volumes, the police expressed several additional concerns or ideas. Mixing skaters and bicyclists with cars is not a good idea. On arterial streets, this mix becomes more dangerous due to the volume of vehicles. Vehicles should not be mixed with pedestrian, bicyclists, skaters, etc. When a street is widened and made one way, the speed tends to increase. It eliminates any calming effects due to limited lane widths or conflicting traffic. With the limited visibility at some intersections, increasing the speeds would be problematic. The increase would also further endanger the pedestrians, bicyclists, and skaters. For skaters and bicyclists, Beach Avenue is close to the beach and it has modified speed bumps to accommodate them. Beach Avenue even has a resolution allowing bicyclists to travel in opposition to traffic. The recommendations from the Police Department and from the Parking and Traffic Committee were not to make the street one way. Numbered Streets The Police Department has not demonstrated that these roadways present any particular problem that needs to be fixed. The crash rates are not high, and the citizens are able to get to their residences by the quickest routes available depending on the day of the week and the time of the day. The roadways are narrow, which has a calming effect on traffic. Although there are occasional problems, the overall traffic flow appears to work. If we make the streets one way, the following results can be anticipated: A. Traffic speeds will probably increase. This is a common effect of eliminating oncoming traffic and, in effect, widening the traffic lanes. B. Residents will have to travel "the long way around" to get to their destinations. Residents will have to follow the one way patterns, or they will be cited by the Police. The Police Department knows from experience that the most frequent violators of one way traffic are the citizens living on the streets. C. Some of the one way patterns will "force" citizens to (s) C~) travel through intersections or on roadways that they prefer to avoid. Due to vision obstructions, designs, traffic volume, or personal preference, motorists tend to avoid some roadways or intersections. If we limit the traffic patterns, then we limit their choices. And, the inconvenience is recognized every single time the. citizen is inconvenienced... every time they drive through the roadway. It may only be a minor inconvenience, but it is recognized every time the motorist drives down the street. D: Making these changes may save some money on the roadway construction. However, the reduction of the travel lanes to one way traffic does not mean that we can cut the cost of the roadway in half. Even a one way street is typically 14 feet wide, so the reduction in traffic does not equal a proportionate reduction in the cost of the street. As noted in the latest R-A-M report, "This would not make a difference in the overall cost of the drainage system...." Signs will have to be added, pavement will have to be marked, and it is likely that intersections along the roadways will have to be modified to accommodate the changes. E. The impact of one way traffic will alter the patterns on other streets. Sherry Drive, Eastcoast Drive, and Ocean Blvd. can be expected to see changes as a result of the one way streets. This will affect intersections as well as roadways in the area, and this may necessitate other modifications and changes. Summary: Before creating the possible problems associated with one way streets, there needs to be a significant advantage to the City to make such a change. At this time, the potential problems overwhelm any potential advantages in making the streets one way. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends not making the roadways one way streets.
