bumps, pointing out that Beach Avenue was a narrow street with linrited
visibility providing a dangerous combination of pedestrians, bikers, :skaters and
cars. Due to the uniqueness of the street, Director Thompson stated he was
not totally opposed to speed bumps, but consideration must be given to
balancing the positive and negative aspects of their use.
City Manager Jarboe stated the pacing contract included reinstallation of
existing speed bumps previously approved by the City Commission.
Considerable discussion ensued concerning the pros and cons of speed bumps.

John Baillie pointed out the speed limit was 15 MPH on Beach Avenue and
requested consideration be given to older cars with regard to the hei;ht of
speed bumps.
Mayor Fletcher suggested staff come back in two weeks with a
recommendation on what will work best on Beach Avenue considering citizen
input and the Public Safety Department concerns with speed bumps.
Commissioner Borno expressed his concern that not honoring the existing
contract would generate additional costs if the project was delayed, ~md stated
he was opposed to additional signs and suggested stenciling the spe~;d limit on
the street.
Mayor Fletcher inquired if it was the contractor's responsibility to replace the
speed bumps and asked what the timetable was for the replacement.
Public Works Director Kosoy stated the contract requires the contrs~ctor to
~ replace the speed bumps exactly where they were. He further stated the pacing
would be completed on Tuesday, except the area at the north end o1'Beach
Avenue between 19th and 20th Streets would be completed at a late: date and
the speed bumps could be installed at that time.
Commissioners Rosenbloom stated and Comnrissioner Shaughnessy concurred
the project should be completed and the speed bumps installed as expeditiously
as possible to slow down traffic.
Motion: Replace the speed bumps between 18th and 19th Streets
existing prior to the construction project, as requested by the
citizens tonight and in accordance with the contract, with larger
speed bumps as quickly as possible.
Commissioner Borno expressed concern the Commission was modifiring an
existing comract if additional speed bumps or larger speed bumps were
installed.
Mayor Fletcher stated he believed bad decisions were made when things are
rushed, as in the case of deciding what constitutes a "larger" speed bump.
Mayor Fletcher further stated it had not been determined what was best for
Beach Avenue as a whole, and reiterated his position the request should be
studied and reviewed by staff and brought back to the next Commission
meeting.

Honorable Mayor Lyman T, Fletcher,

City of Atlantic Beach
800 Seminole Road
Atlantic Beach, Florida
SlFiBJECT: Walkways -Howell Park
Dear Madam & Sirs,
It has been my recommendation, in the past, that the walkways in Howell
Park have a proper base with asphalt surfacisx g. .fit the time, Commissioner
Rosenbloom concurred. I felt this was a go thing,,
Recently, City Manager Jim Jarboe stated that it v~ould not be possible to pave
the walks with asphalt, as it would not be acceptable to the environment protection
agency. (Of course, all our streets are paved with asphalt. )
7n reviewing plans and specification for the core city underground improvements,
which are now 60°jo complete, by England, Thima . & Miller, contrary to Mr, 3arboe's
comment that asphalt is not acceptable, it is specified therein subject to EPA
approval. I am sure they would not specify asphalt walks, if it were not acceptable,
While on the subject of walks, recently, after a circuitous tour of the park, picking
up at least a receptacle of trash, after a recent rain; I found the ramps at the
newly constructed bridges and walkways very slippery. I am sure that you all
readily understand the consequential hazard of this post rain condition. I would
heartily recommend that remedial action be taken x.s soon as possible,
At the completion of my tour, I met, at the park entrance by my home, two
Atlantic Beach policemen/women. They were investigating the noise of bottles
being broken in the park. (I had trashed several quart size "ICE" ale bottles
that were not broken. Although, I did hear the chi:!.dren breakin g the bottles.
That was part of my orii.'purpose for my tour, I They indicated that they
would tour the park at least once a week. This i was pleased to hear.

SUBJECT: Planned New Gymnasium
Dear Madam & Sirs,
At a recent budget planning% meeting, the "HEAVY" subject concerning the
relocation of our public works facility to be replaced by a new gymnasium,
anticipated cost ONE HALF MILLION DOLLARS ($500, 000, 00),
This is a new idea to myself, and several other citizens, especially that I
do not recollect any group or groups approaching city hall in this regard,
Daily there are cries for means necessary to occupy are children as they grow,
F•-. This brings to mind in the near past 25 or 30 youngsters accompanied by adults
pleading for a skateboarding center, To me such a. facility would not require
relocation of our public works nor would it be budget busting,
Membership fees could be applied to the purchase of insurance to handle
taking... care of warranted cases,
In discussing this matter with a city commissioner,, he/they considered it a "risk"
project, Well, we all drive our cars, most every ~iay, and carry insurance
because it also is a "risk" project,
Dual purpose would be the inclusion of adjacent hocky rinks for inlitie skaters,
I feel very confident that a project of this nature would be well received, be of
nominal cost and highly utilized, ~~
Sincerely yours,
